Abstract
In this paper, a PV-Trombe wall (PV-TW) installed in a fenestrated room with heat storage is investigated to approach the practical application of PV-TW. Based on an updated mathematical model, theoretical simulation has been conducted for PV-TW in this case. Furthermore, field testing for this case has also been performed to validate the model, and then the simulated and experimental results are compared and found in considerably good agreement. The testing results show that a significant indoor temperature increase can be obtained in a fenestrated room with PV-TW and heat storage. Meanwhile, the experimental daily average electrical efficiency of this PV-TW can reach 10.4%.
