Thermal, Electrical, and Economic Assessment of Multilayer Phase Change Material Heat Sinks for Photovoltaic Modules at Different Inclinations: A Numerical Analysis

ABSTRACT Passive cooling using phase change materials (PCMs) can reduce photovoltaic (PV) overheating; however, its effectiveness depends on PCM properties, layer arrangement, system inclination, and material cost. This study presents a transient two‐dimensional numerical investi...
