A novel concept of solar photovoltaic partial shading and thermal hybrid system for performance improvement

Abstract

Large values from external causes, such as partial shade, can greatly influence output power of PV. The applications of partial shading are frequently utilized in simulation software. However, in this research work, partial shading and the integration of the photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Hybrid Solar Panel is implemented, and analysis is done to see how it affects the output power of solar panels under genuine climatic circumstances. Many research investigations have been conducted and researchers continue to look at PV/T systems to enhance their performance. The application is designed to provide information on solar panel output power under normal and partial shading situations. The maximum amount of power that solar panels can generate is 298.50 W. Under typical circumstances, partial shading in a solar panel can result in a maximum power value of 141.13 W, and this partial shading leads the power to increase.
