The SOLWAT system is a combined system for solar water purification and renewable electricity generation. Its photovoltaic and photocatalytic performance, along with the photovoltaic (PV) electricity production was studied under the degradation of three different pollutants: Methylene Blue, Acid...

Direct liquid-immersion cooling of concentrator solar cells was proposed as a solution for receiver thermal management of concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) and hybrid concentrating photovoltaic thermal (CPV-T) systems. De-ionized (DI) water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethyl acetate, and dimethyl...

Better performance can be achieved when the bare silicon solar cells are immersed into liquids for the enhanced heat removing. In this study, the performance of solar cells immersed in liquids was examined under simulated sunlight. To distinguish the effects of the liquid optic and electric...

In regression analysis, there are two main aims: interpretation and prediction, which can be also applied in building performance analysis. Interpretation is used to understand the relationship between input parameters and building energy performance (also called sensitivity analysis), whereas...
