| This paper discusses the simulation of the Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) air systems with natural air flow operation for both glazed and unglazed types. Comparisons are made between the theoretical and experimental results and good agreement between these two values are obtained. Additionally, the influence of the glass cover on the different system parameters has been evaluated. Results show that setting glass cover on photovoltaic panels leads to an increase in thermal efficiency and decrease in electrical efficiency of these systems. |
