“…The results showed that the highest thermal and electrical efficiency was 37% and 31.4% of the system equipped with a DC fan. Jie et al [24] verification of the effect of the DC fan when the use of the fan reduces the temperature of the photovoltaic panels to 1.28 o C, while the room temperature is increased to 0.5 o C. In this study, the PV Trombe wall was designed and installed. The experiments were conducted in December and January for a full day to show the effect of the experimental parameters on the electrical and thermal performance.…”

Trombe photovoltaic wall is well known for its ability to supply the building with thermal and electrical energy at the same time. The increase in the temperature of the solar panels leads to a decrease in electrical efficiency. The use of DC fans and water as a medium for cooling the panels improved thermal and electrical efficiency and enhanced the comfort conditions inside the building. The results showed that the Trombe wall with DC fans could reduce the demand for the rudder by Increasing the heat inside the building, as it reached the highest thermal efficiency at 37.5%. As for the system equipped with a heat exchanger recorded the highest electrical efficiency of 14%. Finally, the results showed that the use of DC fans improves the overall efficiency of the photovoltaic Trombe wall system.

Solar cells cost per Watt has decreased so quickly in the last years that photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing costs cover only a small fraction of the total costs of a PV plant. Essentially, the installation and operation costs as well as the costs for the management of starting materials are the main factors today the most important levers for total costs decrease. PV technology has advanced towards both efficiency and average energy generation increasing by light capture optimization and losses minimization. This work analyses the state-of-the-art of PV technology for terrestrial application and discusses the perspectives for future development, which aims at overwhelming limitation posed by material properties. Higher focus is given to the most promising current technology such as silicon heterojunction solar cells and on future developments based on tandem cell approaches.

“…4–9 In particular, semi-transparent OSCs (ST-OSCs), which convert a certain part of sunlight into electrical energy and let the other part through, have potential applications in building-integrated photovoltaics and portable electronic devices. 10–13 Donor:acceptor blend bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) fabricated via one-step processing are the most prevalent active layer structures in opaque OSCs and ST-OSCs. 14–18 Due to the rapid development of novel organic donor and acceptor materials, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of opaque BHJ OSCs have broken through 18%.…”
