Liquid cooling is one of the major and most common methods of PV cooling. Generally, there are two ways to use liquid cooling in active mode: either the liquid (water and nanofluid) flows through the area behind the PV modules, or a thin film of liquid passes through the facing area of the modules . This technique provides greater and more ...
Liquid cooling of photovoltaic panels is a very efficient method and achieves satisfactory results. Regardless of the cooling system size or the water temperature, this method of cooling always improves the electrical efficiency of PV modules. The operating principle of this cooling type is based on water use.
The module temperature of the PV panel was reduced by 26.05 %. This led to an increase of 32.7 % and 31.5 % in the values of output power and efficiency, respectively. Haidar et al. also employed an evaporative cooling system for PV panels. The power output was found to be increased by 5 % due to a temperature drop of 10 °C.
It is true that the payback period has increased when constructing a cooling technique for the PV panel; however, the benefits of the cooling technique on the PV are far more beneficial. The PV panel lifespan increases whenever a cooling system is used because a cooling system decreases its temperature with time.
Most of the research is done in the field of active cooling, which uses external energy (e.g., water and air) to cool the system down, and on utilisation of the thermal energy for heating applications. This extra energy requirement of the cooling systems increases load on the system and affects the efficiency and energy conversion of PV systems.
1. PV panels cooling systems Cooling of PV panels is used to reduce the negative impact of the decrease in power output of PV panels as their operating temperature increases. Developing a suitable cooling system compensates for the decrease in power output and increases operational reliability.
The cooling efficiency of PV modules depends on the chosen cooling technique and the local climatic conditions. Various environmental parameters, e.g. irradiance, ambient and module surface temperature, wind velocity, air humidity, localisation (shading, horizon line), etc. affect the performance of PV cooling.
