Performance evaluation of PV module using water filters and infrared reflective glass covers

The Photovoltaic (PV) system converts only a selected band (0.35μm to 0.82 μm) of solar radiation to electricity. The absorption of radiation outside this band leads to a temperature raise of PV module which affects its performance. Experiments were performed to prevent radiation outside the selecte...
