Abstract

The present invention is a method of providing a system having at least one photovoltaic module and defining a heat recapture gap below the photovoltaic module. The heat recapture gap is sized to allow for fluid flow between a first heat emissive surface and a second heat emissive surface. Resistance to convective heat transfer out of the first heat emissive surface relative to the resistance of convective heat transfer out of a light exposed surface of the photovoltaic module is reduced. Finally, heat is captured by flowing fluid through the heat recapture gap from the photovoltaic module.
