The utilization of heat from the PV cooling makes the current system a hybrid system where panel cooling and energy recovery are possible. The heat pipe applications are also suitable for the concentrated heat flux solar applications owing to the need for a high heat transfer rate ( Singh, and Reddy, 2020 ).
Evacuated HPSC is considered more suitable for regions with lower solar intensities. Hence, further studies are needed to optimize the shape and size of the heat pipe. Improvement in the thermal performance of the heat pipe increases the productivity of solar thermal and PV to improve power conversion. 8. Future scope
The heat loss coefficients of heat pipe augmented evacuated and non-evacuated type solar collectors were 36.01% and 35.17% less than direct flow-based evacuated and non-evacuated solar collectors. Heat pipe increased the heat transfer rate compared to direct flow collector, resulting in the decreased heat loss and maximum solar energy absorption.
The prime purpose of employing heat pipes is to improve the heat transfer ability such that the thermal performance is enhanced in solar collectors while it augments electrical energy as well as thermal energy in PVT applications.
External and Internal fins of heat pipes in the evaporation and condensation sections of heat pipes improve the phase change process of HTF. Thus, the heat pipe is an effective method to increase solar-thermal collectors' thermal energy production rate and increase the PV efficiency by heat pipe cooling.
On the other hand, to transfer the converted thermal energy timely and avoid overheating on the surface of solar collectors, a heat pipe which depends on liquid–vapor phase change heat transfer is an efficient choice , , , .
