Abstract :
This paper presents a multi-physics analysis of a hybrid solar panel equipped with a solar concentrator and a cooling interface with heat recovery capability. It is shown that the analysis allows one to predict the temperature profile along the panel as well as the I-V electrical characteristic as a function of the cooling strategy.
