Abstract

Solar photovoltaic/thermal system is widely used in all industries because it generates both thermal and electrical energy. The most significant challenge for photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems in maintaining operating temperature is high-performance cooling. To enhance the rate of heat transfer in a PV/T system, multiple methods were used. Porous media is one of these methods to enhance thermal efficiency by providing a larger dissipation area and irregular motion of the fluid flow. This paper provides an in-depth examination of the advancements and applications of porous materials to improve heat transfer performance in a PV/T system.
