Abstract: The thermal degradation, low-irradiance performance, IV and EQE characteristics of CuInGaSe 2 (CIGS), c-Si, and GaAs photovoltaic devices are presented. Typically thin-film polycrystalline ...

In this paper, we have studied numerically thermal performances of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) working with different nanofluids. Simulations are carried out for 5% nanoparticles' volume ...
