Abstract: The thermal management of electrothermal insulation composite sandwich structural FRP panel (100) includes a resin infused Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) (102) & (106), a Polyurethane Foam (PUF) (104), a phase shifting layer (112), a solar Panel (108), and a hard coated UV resistance glass (110). The Polyurethane Foam (PUF) (104) acts as a central thermal core. The Polyurethane Foam (PUF) (104) is bonded externally on both sides with 1-3 mm thickness of the resin infused Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) (102) & (106). The phase shifting layer (112) is placed below the solar Panel (108) and includes a phase changing material, that absorbs the heat and maintains the solar Panel (108) temperature below 40°C. The thermal management of electrothermal insulation composite sandwich structural FRP panel (100) can be fixed on the at least 3 sides of the container of the commercial vehicles.
