Thermal and electrical performances of a water-surface floating PV integrated with double water-saturated MEPCM layers

•We made water-surface floating PVs integrated with double water-saturated MEPCMs.•Solar cell temperature control capabilities and PV generation efficiencies were investigated.•A 5 cm/5 cm–30 °C/26 °C MEPCM-PV increases the electricity generation by 2.03%. In the present study, two water-saturated m...
