Performance Enhancement of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Module using Thermoelectric Cooling

Performance of solar panel decreases with increase in the temperature of the panel. Output power of PV module drops by 0.45% per 0 C rise in temperature if heat is not removed. In Building Integrated Photovoltaic System (BIPV) temperature rise is more as heat transfer due to convection is not possible from rear side of the panel. Cooling of the modules would enhance the performance of the module. In order to cool this system thermoelectric system is developed. Thermoelectric module is attached at the back of PV module and it is operated in cooling mode. This paper discusses about the development of BIPV/Thermoelectric system. Initially mathematical modeling of individual systems is carried out. Later on the dynamic model of BIPV/Thermoelectric system with consideration of temperature of PV panel temperature has been developed. This paper presents performance improvement of BIPV system with Thermoelectric cooling.
