On the Influence of PV Cell and Diode Configurations on the Performance of a CPVT Collector: A Comparative Analysis

On the Influence of PV Cell and Diode Configurations on the Performance of a CPVT Collector: A Comparative Analysis

Concentrating photovoltaic-thermal (CPVT) collectors use reflective surfaces to focus sunlight onto a smaller receiver area, increasing thermal energy output while maintaining annual energy efficiency. Ray-tracing simulations are employed in this study using Tonatiuh to optimise the characteristics...
