2017 Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Using Silicon Isolators on the Performance of PV Panels

The electrical efficiency of photovoltaic panels decreases as the temperature of PV cells increases as a result of converting most of the absorbed solar energy to heat, which needs to be dissipated effectively and economically. In this study, a sheet of 0.25 mm silicon isolator type Sil-Pad 400 supplied by Henkel Electronics materials company with thermal conductivity of 0.9 W/m.K was laminated at the back of solar cells instead of tedlar layer to enhance the thermal conductivity of PV panel back layers. The constructed silicon isolator PV panel is outdoor tested at the same time with another standard PV panel having the same parameters under the same conditions and in the same position and location. The experimental results showed an improvement in electric power generation and cells temperature for the constructed silicon isolator panel. The front surface temperature of the silicon isolator panel was lower than that of standard panel by 8 °C to 1.5 °C, where the back surface temperature of the silicon isolator panel was 6 °C to 1 °C lower than that of standard panel. The overall average increase in power generation for silicon isolator panel was about 13% with respect to the standard panel.
