Study of the influence of refrigeration in PV panels by using natural or force convective air (2011-2012)

This is a project funded by the by the Spanish company Apia XXI.

This project is posed in the context of the installation constracted at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena: A small greenhouse with some PV panels. The work is divided into two parts:

• Experimental part: Different configurations are being analysed in our installations and some data adquisition is being performed in the facilities of the company at El Coronil and Castilblanco in Seville.

• Numerical part: A numerical model based on the experiments performed throughout the project will be developed and validated.
