現今市售太陽能模組的發展已經陷入了瓶頸，究其原因為能源轉換效率的停滯不前。目前商用太陽能電池轉換效率無法有顯著提升除了是材料選擇的問題，還有受光照時大量的熱累積在太陽能電池導致發電功率無法上升。
為了解決上文所提的餘熱問題，我們使用實驗室開發的脈衝式熱管(PHP)配合相變化材料(PCM)直接對縮小尺寸(68x55cm2)的太陽能模組進行改裝，同時在控制成本下設計了三種散熱方案：第一種方案為單純使用兩組PHP將白天太陽能模組多餘的熱移到PCM儲存槽中，到晚上在讓其自然冷卻；第二種方案是在太陽能模組背面和增加的蓋板間附上PCM吸熱，PHP則埋於其中，之後的移熱模式如同方案一；第三種方案為流動水在太陽能模組背面和蓋板間吸熱使其成為另類的太陽能熱水器加熱部，PHP則埋在其中，之後移熱模式也如同方案一。
在使用小尺寸68x55cm2的太陽能模組進行的三種散熱方案中，方案一使用兩組PHP的太陽能模組溫度與功率沒有明顯變化，方案二使用PCM與PHP反而增加太陽能模組溫度造成功率下降2.4%，方案三使用流動水與PHP能夠降低太陽能模組溫度約7℃並提升太陽能模組發電功率約15%，為最佳選擇，同時也可以產生家用熱水。在確認方案三能提升最多功率後，對正常尺寸(170x102cm2)之市售太陽能模組進行方案三驗證，發現可提升發電效率約11.2%，確認通過方案三加掛散熱模組能讓太陽能模組產生更多的電和適用於家庭的熱水。

Nowadays, the development of commercial solar panel is in dilemma due to the stagnation of energy transfer rate. The usage of materials and wasted heat caused by sunlight will stop the improvement of solar panel.
The objective of this study is to increase the power of solar panel by removing heat from it. We design three methods to achieve the goal by the combination of pulsed heat pipe (PHP), phase change material (PCM) and the reduced-size solar panel (68x55cm2). First, only use PHP to remove heat from the back of the solar panel to PCM storage tank at daytime; heat will dissipate at night. Second, attach PCM between the back of solar panel and the additional plate, and PHP is placed into PCM to transfer heat from PCM behind the solar panel to the PCM storage tank at daytime. Third, flowing water between the back of solar panel and the additional plate as the heating part of solar water heater, and PHP is placed into the water to transfer heat from the water behind the solar panel to the PCM storage tank at daytime.
In the result, the power of solar panel in the first method with two PHPs remains the same; the power of solar panel in the second method with PCM and PHP reduces due to the temperature rising; the third method with flowing water and PHP is the best; it can increase 15% of power. Finally, we use the third method on the normal-size (170x102cm2) solar panel to check the versatility of the method; it can increase 11.2% of power.
