Description

The efficiency of photovoltaic module is largely affected by high operating temperatures. This paper discusses the effect of a batch water system on a SP70 photovoltaic module. Heat exchange in the system was noted to take place. Infrared camera, PVPM1000C device, thermocouples and a data logger were used for data collection.
