This paper aims to provide an overview of the technologies for the use and implementation of phase change materials, in order to identify possible applications in energy efficiency, reducing energy losses and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time bringing a contribution to identifying applications in passive house designs for reducing thermal bridges and providing heating and cooling requirements in extreme weather climates, as well as aspects regarding the integration of phase change materials...

The performance of solar modules is fundamental during the conversion process in electrical energy, depending on the temperature of the solar cell. The photovoltaic power and efficiency decrease with temperature rise, Tc. In this paper are found useful aspects regarding the increase of the temperature of solar cells correlated with commercial photovoltaic panels, based on thermal monocrystalline silicon. Correlation of all parameters in terms of materials used by the photovoltaic industry, as well as weather condi...
