The effect of surface water on the performance of pv module / Muhammad Haikal Kamaruddin

This thesis introduces the probability of increasing the performance in terms of output power and efficiency using passes running water on the surface of PV module. Lifespan of photovoltaic cells is estimated around 20-25 years. The rate of degradation will increase rapidly if the temperature goes b...
