Abstract:The article presents the use of photovoltaic installation in a building with office space and a section for kindergarten to support the production of electricity using solar energy. Accepted technological installation solution, capital expenditures to be incurred for the project and payback time are shown. Paper presents the results of the performance simulation of the PV system adopted depending on the angle of photovoltaic panels. Designed photovoltaic installation consists of 62 panels with a total nominal power of 15.5 kW. The use of photovoltaics in the facility allow reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by approximately 52%. In Poland, most of the electricity produced is still based on coal and lignite. Photovoltaics is one of the renewable sources of energy, so-called "Green" energy. The investment could be made thanks to the Regional Operational Programme Podlaski, Activity 5.2 Development of local infrastructure, environmental protection 2007-2013.

The photovoltaic system converts solar radiation into electricity. The output of the solar photovoltaic systems is strongly depending on the operating cell temperature. The power output of photovoltaic system reduces as the operating cell temperature increases. Several techniques have been reported in the literature to maintain the low operating temperature of the solar cell by utilizing module heat for separate thermal application. Integration of photovoltaic thermoelectric (PV-TE) system is one of these techniques. In these PV-TE systems, the hot junctions of thermoelectric modules are coupled with the photovoltaic. The thermoelectric module uses heat from PV system and generates additional power. This PV-TE system not only generates more power but also improves the PV efficiency. The present article reports a comprehensive review of latest developments in the PV-TE systems. A detailed classification, key outcomes of published research and the future research scope are discussed in this article.

“…Their main drawback is a low thermal conductivity, close to 0.2 W/(mK), so some effort is needed to intensify the heat transfer between the hot surface and the heat storage material [2]. In the extensive survey of cooling techniques for PVs presented by Sathe and Dhoble [3], those based on the pcm's were considered among the novel ones. Various solutions vere mentioned: based on natural convection promotion, utilization of fins and developed heat transfer area.…”

Stabilization of the temperature of PVs is of great importance, due to strong relation between operating temperature and its efficiency. Due to low thermal conductivity of PCM, intensification of heat transfer to the operating material is needed. The four fully passive PV’s temperature stabilization systems, based on the phase change material (PCM) are numerically investigated in this paper. Apart from the natural convection promotion, intensification of heat transfer is done with aluminium fins and aluminium foam. The simplified computational model based on the equilibrium formulation of energy transport equation, taking into account viscous and inertial fluid flow resistances in the porous material, is formulated and solved with the general purpose software - ANSYS Fluent. Proposed model is succesfully verified by comparing the results with available in literature numerical solutions.Simulations outcomes are presented, the temperature and liquid fraction distributions in proposed geometry configurations, temperature variations determined in selected points and averaged on the heated surface temperature plots. Presented results help to assign the best configuration.
