Scientists assess heat dissipation factors in fixed, single-axis PV modules

Scientists have measured two fixed panels and two single-axis modules for months to determine their site-specific heat dissipation factors. These local results indicate a 3. 3% enhancement in energy production compared to the default factors used in PVSyst. Researchers from South Africa's Stellenbosch University have conducted a long-term experiment to study heat dissipation factors in fixed-tilt (FT) and single-axis tracked (SAT) PV modules. "The novelty of our research lies in the development of heat dissipation factors for SAT open-rack PV systems," corresponding author Dr. Hannes Pretorius ...
