Nowadays renewable energies are becoming more important in the generation of electricity.
Fossil resources do not present a sustainable option for the future since they are non …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems operate in a paradox; sunlight is the essential input to generate
electricity with PV, but they suffer a digression in performance as the operating temperature …

PV modules are often considered to be the most reliable component of a photovoltaic
system. The alleged reliability has led to the long warranty period for modules up to 25 …

A novel humidification-dehumidification (HDH) solar desalination system is designed and
tested with actual conditions and solar energy was used to provide both thermal and …

Renewable energy (RE) resources have enormous potential and can meet the present
world energy demand by using the locally available RE resources. One of the most …

A new cooling technique for low concentrated photovoltaic–thermal (LCPV/T) systems is
developed using a microchannel heat sink with nanofluids. In this study, Aluminum Oxide (Al …

In a photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) solar collector, a small percentage of the absorbed solar
radiation can be converted into electricity and the rest become heat. The heat could be …

In this paper, the exergy efficiency of a solar photovoltaic thermal (PVT) water collector is
investigated experimentally and numerically. An experimental setup of PVT water collector is …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has shown significant expansion on the installed capacity
over the last years. Most of its power systems are installed on rooftops, integrated into …

Abstract Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors, are useful systems to absorb solar energy
and convert that to electrical and thermal energy. However, to make the best out of solar …
