Abstract: This study considers the effect of PV panel cost on the use of auxiliary power systems (APSs) in the hybrid power generation system for gridconnected condition. Using the auxiliary power systems along with the PV panels ...

Abstract: Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system is a kind of solar system that converts solar energy to electrical and thermal energy simultaneously. In this paper, the effect of some parameters, such as packing factor, fin number, and ...

Abstract: Unglazed transpired collector (UTC) is a kind of solar air heater is used for different applications such as air ventilation, preheating, and crop drying. Passing air through the perforated plate, which acts as an absorber, ...

Abstract: Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) is an integrated panel simultaneously producing combined heat and electricity. In order to examine the effect of the dimensional, operational, and environmental parameters, energetic and exergetic ...

Abstract: Efficiency of photovoltaic water pumping systems (PVPS) decreases remarkably as PV cells temperature rises, thus to improve the performance of such systems and their efficiency, PV cells temperature should be kept as low ...
