摘要：The performance evaluation of a hybrid solar powered poultry egg incubator is presented in this study. The system consists of a double-glazed flat plate solar collector integrated with a paraffin type phase change material energy storage subsystem and incorporated with a PV subsystem. Results of the study showed that the chamber temperature was within the range of between 36- 39 °C and relative humidity of 50–75%. The temperature ranges of between 42-106 °C and 38–99 °C respectively were observed at the storage medium and absorber plate respectively with an average egg hatchability of 62.37% using the hybrid solar powered poultry egg incubator.
