Carbon nanotube(CNT)fabric heaters featured by flexibility in shape and homogeneity in temperature distribution are applied to photovoltaic fields, 1)constant temperature control aimed for direct measurements of internal conversion efficiency for photovoltaic cells, and 2) snow-melting for photovoltaic modules. In summary, the constant temperature control was achieved using negative feedback control by CNT heater itself(without additional temperature sensors)as a temperature sensor at the power
