Abstract

[In this chapter, an experimental energy and exergy analysis of PVTACs and conventional solar thermal collectors has been presented. Various airflow rates (from 0.0047 to 0.0165 kg/s) are tested to improve PVTAC’s performance experimentally. To use the entropy-VIKOR technique to ascertain the best settings for the PVTAC. The results show that the PVTAC system generates the total thermal energy and thermal exergy at midday. The optimal settings obtained are output parameters for the optimal PVTAC: outlet temperature 42 °C, thermal energy 28.34%, thermal exergy efficiency 0.61%, and electrical energy 16.57 Wh, with input parameters mass flow rate 0.004 kg/s, solar radiation 689 W/m2, temperature 36.1 °C, and tilt angle 25°. A confirmatory test then validates the optimization model.]
