Deficiences in current Photovoltaic cells
The photovoltaic cells convert only a fraction of solar radiation
into electricity.
Major Portion gets converted into heat which tends to hamper
the performance of the cells.
So there is a need for a mechanism in the dissipation of heat
from the cells. For effective utilization of cells.

Temperature Coefficient
●
The impact of temperature on solar panel efficiency is known
as the temperature coefficient.
●
This value, which is normally given in the form of negative
percentage, reveals the impact of temperature on the panel.
●
For example,in one of the study conducted wherein Solar
Panels were tested at 25 0C.It was observed that if
Temperature coefficient of panel is -0.5 then for rise in every
1 OC rise in temperature the maximum power in panels
reduced by 0.5%.

Objectives of Our Analysis
Find the optimum depth of PCM material.
Find the optimum working parameters of the fins. Like width
of the fins, spacings, shape of fins.
Optimize the performance of the cell in this process.
7
Expected Outcomes from the analysis
Plot Temperature Distribution by varying the depth of PCM
material and obtain the optimum depth which maintains lowest
temperature.
CFD Convection analysis to be done on the fins.
Plot the temperature distribution with respect to variation in
various parameters of the fin.
