NUMERICAL STUDY OF PERFORMANCE OF TROMBE WALL WITH PV CELLS
As the outer glazing of Trombe wall covered partially by the Photovoltaic cells (PVC), some of the solar radiation is absorbed by opaque PV modules, and the other penetrates the transparent glass to the blackened wall. Therefore with this combined Trombe wall, not only the solar heat is provided, the electrical power can also be generated. CFD simulations have been performed to study the characteristics of this hybrid Trombe wall. The influence of the coverage of PVC on the solar heating of the room and electrical efficiency of the PVC has been investigated. Numerical results indicate that the thermal efficiency of the system is reversely proportional to the coverage rate of PVC. The total efficiency including the electricity output increases with the incident solar radiation rising.
