Performance of 20w Solar Photovoltaic Module for Energy and Exergy Analysis
The solar photovoltaic system generates both thermal energy and electrical energy by utilizing solar energy. In this paper an experimental attempt has made for calculating energy output as well as exergy output of solar PV panel installed at R.L.J.I.T. Bangalore. Energy and exergy analysis was performed by using first and second law of thermodynamics to evaluate energy and exergy. The framework involved in this process are ambient temperature, overall heat transfer, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, solar radiations etc. It is predicted that temperature of pv solar module has most effect on the efficiencies. By the help of water or air the heat can be removed to improve both energy and exergy efficiencies.
