Features of optimization of increasing the efficiency of an autonomous photo thermal installation for rural regions

Abstract

The paper considers experimental results on the development of a photovoltaic battery of a new design with increased efficiency and power with a new heat collector based on cellular polycarbonate, which leads to complete uniform thermal contact with the back surface of the photovoltaic battery. It is shown that the use of materials with a high reflection coefficient in the side plane of solar radiation reflection, increasing the accuracy of the operational guidance node to the sun using an upgraded support structure that allows orientation to the sun in two planes, reduces the loss of solar radiation energy. It is possible to control the capacity of the heat collector, which ensures the reliability of obtaining parameters, increases power, and ensures uniformity of the temperature of the rear surface of the PVB, which increases the efficiency of the installation.
