Evaluation of optical and thermal behaviors of a 3FPT photovoltaic module

摘要

The optical and thermal behaviors of the photovoltaic module have a great influence on its output power. The 3FPT (Three Flat Plates Terrestrial) module is a newly developed photovol- taic module structure, which overcomes the drawbacks of the existing modules using commer- cially available materials in Egypt. The 3FPT module consists of three plates; the front conver, cells adhered to the substrate and the back cover.
