In this paper, a study has been carried out to evaluate the energy and exergy performance of a building integrated semitransparent photovoltaic thermal (BISPVT) system integrated to the roof of a room. Comparisons have been carried out on the basis of energy and exergy by considering six...

In this paper, life cycle analysis has been carried out to evaluate overall performance of given rated stand-alone solar photovoltaic (SAPV) in terms of basic energy matrices, life cycle cost analysis, and earned carbon credit. Further, the experimentally calculated actual on-field life cycle...

An analysis is presented for the performance of an inexpensive sand collector for solar energy which has been validated experimentally. The collector consists of a plane network of polythene pipes buried in a sand mass which is kept in a wooden case, the top surface of the sand being fixed by...

This paper presents an analysis for the reduction of the heat flux that occurs by constant flow water in a network of pipes buried in a roof. An air gap is introduced into the roof to achieve maximum thermal load levelling. A periodic solution of the one-dimensional partial differential equation...

In this communication, an experimental study of inverted absorber solar still (IASS) and single slope solar still (SS) at different water depth and total dissolved solid (TDS) is presented. Experiments are conducted for the climatic condition of Muscat, Oman. A thermal model is also developed...

In this paper, a study is carried out to evaluate the annual thermal and exergy performance of a photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) and earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) system, integrated with a greenhouse, located at IIT Delhi, India, for different climatic conditions of Srinagar, Mumbai, Jodhpur, New...
