Modeling of Dust Deposition Impact on PV/T Hybrid Collector Performances

Dust deposition on the front of photovoltaic /thermal collectors presents greatest issues in some regions (desertic regions). It's considered as key parameter affecting much more collector's performances. In the present work, a particular attention has been paid to dust deposition effect on the electrical and thermal performances of photovoltaic /thermal collector PV/T.A model of sheet-and-tubes PV/ T collector is developed and validated with...
