Testing CPM-based passive cooling for CPV systems

An international research team has tested change material heat sinks for heat management on a concentrator photovoltaic system. It found that increasing over height ratios lowers the formation of stratified liquid layers, which in turn reduces the potential hot spots in the upper part of the solar cell.An international research team from Japan's Tokyo Institute of Technology, Egypt's Benha University and the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) has assessed the thermal behavior of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system including phase change material (PCM) heat sinks for ...
