Abstract

Solar energy has become a vital source for generating and harvesting electricity. Enhancing the efficiency of solar modules is an essential factor for successful transition to a sustainable and green energy production. Since natural fiber composites (NFCs) possess various outstanding properties, they can be used as an adequate alternative to synthetic fibers and environmentally harmful materials that are used in photovoltaic (PV) applications and module components. Solar modules are believed to undergo a decline in efficiency when exposed to excessive sun radiation, which eventually caused by a gradual escalation in temperature. Therefore, utilizing appropriate NFCs in the rear components and backsheets of solar modules could significantly contribute to the overall efficiency of these modules and enhance their thermal stability.
