A photovoltaic cell module for a receiver of solar radiation-based electrical power generating system is disclosed. The module includes an assembly for extracting heat from the photovoltaic cells. The assembly includes a coolant chamber positioned behind and in thermal contact with the exposed surface of the photovoltaic cells. The coolant chamber includes an inlet for a coolant and an outlet for heated coolant. The assembly also includes a plurality of beads, rods, bars or balls of high thermal conductivity material in the coolant chamber that are in thermal contact with the photovoltaic cells and each other and together have a large surface area for heat transfer and define a three dimensional labyrinth that can conduct heat therethrough away from the photovoltaic cell or cells. |
