Microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry has proven to have potential in elevating the overall performance of a photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) module as a working fluid. In order to make full use of the superiority of MPCM slurry and further improve energy and exergy efficiencies of the PV...
