Flow Simulation Improves Photovoltaic Solar Panel Performance Photovoltaic cells play a key role in the home energy market which, according to a recent report, could provide 30 to 40% of the United Kingdom’s energy supply by 2020. Today’s photovoltaic panels convert about 15% of the energy they capture from the sun into electricity, leaving 85% to be dissipated as heat. This creates a major thermal design challenge since every degree of
