Present study focused on the utilization of solar
energy by the help of photovoltaic greenhouse solar dryer under
forced mode. A single slope photovoltaic greenhouse solar dryer has
been proposed and thermal modelling has been developed. Various
parameters have been calculated by thermal modelling such as
greenhouse room temperature, cell temperature, crop temperature and
air temperature at exit of greenhouse. Further cell efficiency, thermal
efficiency, and overall thermal efficiency have been calculated for a
typical day of May and November. It was found that system can
generate equivalent thermal energy up to 7.65 kW and 6.66 kW per
day for clear day of May and November respectively.
