Promotion of energy conversion using renewable energy resources is essential for sustainability and environment. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are for instance, widely used to convert solar power into electricity. This process generates significant amount of heat, which transfers to the surfaces on which the panels are installed. When it comes to PV panel monitoring, heat flux sensors therefore offer substantial benefits by providing a deep understanding of the thermal dynamics at play and can be key to thermal management. By Installing a combination of sensors (EKO HF-01S, PT-1000 Temperature Sensor, and EKO ML-01 Pyranometer) on a PV panel, the thermal performance of the panel can be depicted. The HF-01S sensors measure heat flux towards the roof and the heat flux from the back of the solar panel to capture the dynamics and energy changes. Additionally, the HF-01S can capture the heat balance between the two surfaces (the back of the PV panel and the surface of the roof) and can be used for optimal thermal management such as insulation application and PV cooling.
