Solar energy is a good solution for energy-deficiency problems, especially in regions such ‎as rural areas in the Middle East that have not been electrified yet or are ‎under electrification. In ‎this paper, with the aid of a Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation, we propose a ‎system...

Relative spectral response of monocrystalline silicon solar cell is measured at different cell temperatures. At room temperature, the spectral response is found to have its maximum peak in the infrared (IR) range (800–1100 nm). By increasing the cell temperature, modification in the shape of...

A V-trough concentrator with a two-axis tracker system to increase the performance of photovoltaics was designed by the authors and installed on the roof-top of the building of the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics at Helwan in South Cairo. The V-trough concentrator system...
