Development of an efficient photovoltaic thermal collector

Abstract

Due to the rise in greenhouse gas in earth atmosphere and global climate change attention has been focused on harvesting energy from renewable resources such as solar wind hydro biomass geothermal tidal wave and ocean thermal energy The global potential of solar energy is higher than the potential of all other renewable energy sources together Solar energy is primarily harvested using two prominent conversion methods viz solar thermal and solar photovoltaic PV In practice solar PV...
