Description
Summary:It is generally agreed that solar energy, which can be converted into usable electricity by means of solar panels, is one of the most important renewable energy sources. An energy and exergy study of these panels is the first step in developing this technology. This will provide a fair standard by which solar panel efficiency can be evaluated. In this study, the MATLAB tool was used to find the answers to the math problems that describe this system. The system’s efficiency has been calculated using the modeled data created in MATLAB. When solving equations, the initial value of the independent system parameters is fed into the computer in accordance with the algorithm of the program. A simulation and a parametric analysis of a thermal PV system with a sheet and spiral tube configuration have been completed. Simulations based on a numerical model have been run to determine where precisely the sheet and helical tubes should be placed in a PV/T system configured for cold water. Since then, the MATLAB code for the proposed model has been developed, and it agrees well with the experimental data. There is an RMSE of 0.94 for this model. The results indicate that the modeled sample achieves a thermal efficiency of between 43% and 52% and an electrical efficiency of between 11% and 11.5%.
