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.
This is the simplest way of cooling PV modules, so it is very popular. This method increases the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the system with a limited investment. Passive cooling with air is the cheapest and simplest method of removing excess heat from PV panels. In such a solution, the PV modules are cooled by natural airflow.
Passive cooling of photovoltaic panels can be enhanced by additional components such as heat sinks, metallic materials such as fins installed on the back of P.V. to ensure convective heat transfer from air to panels . The high thermal conductive heat sinks are generally located behind the solar cell.
Various cooling methods have been developed to keep solar panels cool and operate optimally to mitigate the negative impacts of high temperatures. One of the simplest passive cooling methods involves positioning solar panels strategically to maximize shade during the hottest parts of the day.
The results revealed that the performance improvement of P.V. panel due to T.E. cooling from the range 8.35–11.46% to 12.26–13.27%. Benghanem et al. observed that the temperature of the P.V. cells decreased from 83 °C to 65 °C with T.E. modules. The T.E. system delivers cooling effect with electric power derived from the panels.
Passive cooling methods for photovoltaic modules/panels have been reviewed. The passive cooling techniques are divided into six categories. The possibility of combining multi-passive methods is discussed. Floatovoltaics could solve both the water evaporation crisis and PV efficiency drop.
