Abstract
Solar energy is guided by mix mode photovoltaic cell (PV)having thermal effect not only take a part of electricity generation, besides other fundamental approach is to control the rise in temperature of the cell. Our main priority of this type of configuration of cell is for electricity generation. Other aspect of controlling temperature of the cell, fluid is used which carries away excessive gain in temperature. In this paper air as fluid is used that pull out undue amount of heat from the cell module. As the temperature regulated there is very favourable chance of efficiency (electrical) shoots up.In this article, four different experimental set up of mix mode has taken in which a duct made of wood having dimensions 0.86 m × 0.63 m × 0.05 m fixed along with the module in which 10 W capacity DC fan is also incorporated for the circulation of air. Various observations deduce from this paper that case-III has the highest efficiency among other cases. On comparing efficiencies with different cases. Case-III gain of 0.7% more as compared to Case-II where as it is 1.7% more gain than case-I.
