Heat retention of a photovoltaic/thermal collector with PCM

A novel PV/T/PCM system that generates electricity, stores heat and pre-heats water was characterised under outdoor conditions in Dublin, Ireland. The system design combines a PV module with a thermal collector; in which heat is removed from a heat exchanger embedded in PCM through a thermosyphon fl...
