Abstract |
The cooling techniques of photovoltaic (PV) panels captured special attention due to positive impact on PV panels efficiency as continuous elevation of temperature degraded its performance. A number of studies have suggested the better prospects of air, water and phase change material (PCM) for thermal management of PV modules. The present work studies three different nanoparticle-based nano-PCMs for acceleration in performance of PV panel in terms of temperature reduction and increment of electrical efficiency. The experimental methodology was tested in the outdoor conditions of Taxila, Pakistan during winter seasons by using different concentrations (0.25 wt and 0.5 wt) of multiwall carbon nanotubes nanoparticles, graphene nanoplatelets and magnesium oxide nanoparticles in phase change material (PT-58). The topmost performance of PV panel is found at 0.5 wt nanomaterial concentration in graphene nanoplatelets/PT-58 nano-PCM. The experimental results indicate that maximum temperature
