Study to improve the efficiency of c-Si material in photovoltaic power plant

摘要： In the present communication, comparison between performance of photovoltaic module with and without duct has been carried out. Different input parameters (namely, ambient air temperature, solar radiation wind speed etc.) have been considered for IIT, Delhi campus. Further, thermal modelling has been derived for the c-Si photovoltaic (PV) module alone and PV module with duct. Different parameters like outlet air temperature from duct and cell temperature have been calculated through MATLAB coding. Due to integration of duct, 3.89% and 125.74% increase in electrical output and equivalent thermal energy have been found in comparison to stand-alone PV module.
