Thermal Regulation of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Using Phase Change Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a finite volume heat transfer model conjugated hydrodynamically to solve the Navier-Stokes and energy equations and showed that the moderation of temperature achieved can lead to significant improvements in the operational efficiency of photovoltaic facades.
