Validation of Thermal Modelling for the Back Surface Temperature of a Photovoltaic Module for Hot and Humid Climate

Abstract:

Thermal modeling is one of the approaches used to assess the performance of photovoltaic thermal. The main objective of this study is to validate thermal modeling by using the experimental results to estimate the back surface temperature of a photovoltaic module in hot and humid climate. Several assumptions have been made to simplify the analysis base on energy balance method. Good agreement is observed between the experiment and thermal modeling, with a correlation coefficient (r) and root mean square percent deviation of 0.931 and 12.1% respectively.
