The most comprehensive, authoritative and widely cited reference on photovoltaic solar energy. Fully revised and updated, the Handbook of Photovoltaic …
The efficiency of both solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) systems for power generation is usually in the range of 10–30%, meaning that more than two-thirds of the collected radiation energy is lost. Cogeneration, or more generally polygeneration, means capturing and using some of the wasted energy and therefore increasing the …

Solar Engineering Design - PV Design
Abstract. Overheating of solar cells under normal operational conditions highly reduces their energy harvesting efficiency and produces additional problems related to thermal cycling and performance degradation of the modules. In this paper, a novel cooling system for solar photovoltaics, using the underground as a heat sink, is …
