Can photovoltaic thermoelectric (PV-Te) hybrid solar energy systems be cooled?

The cooling of photovoltaic thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid solar energy systems is one method to improve the productive life of such systems with effective solar energy utilization. This review critically analyzes the current cooling technologies' various cooling methods and scope.

Are PV solar cells effective?

The energy efficiency of the leading PVT was assessed for effective, and the energy efficiency is 13–14.2% for passive and 66.8–82.6% for active cooling methods. Ajewole et al. investigated the absorption of heat energy by PV solar cells to increase rooftop electricity production output PV power systems.

What is PV-Te hybrid solar energy system cooling?

Recently, cooling technology advances have sustained the global solar energy and electric vehicle battery market. Thus, the cooling of PV-TE hybrid solar energy systems is one of the effective methods to improve the productive life of such systems with effective solar energy utilization.

Can a hybrid solar PV system improve electrical efficiency?

Combining active and passive cooling systems with PV panels to form a hybrid solar PVT system has enabled substantial progress in enhancing electrical efficiency. Forced cooling systems are more efficient by almost 30% than natural ones but are not cost-effective.

Is a hybrid cooling system a viable alternative to a conventional PV system?

Zhou et al. conducted an enthalpy-based mathematical modeling for a hybrid cooling approach of PV panels. The approach combined active PV cooling, radiative cooling, and hybrid ventilation along with PCM energy storage. The simulation presented a hugely promising performance of the hybrid system over the conventional uncooled system.

Is natural cooling a cost-competitive option for solar PV-Te systems?

Natural cooling is observed to be cost-competitive. Passive cooling can enhance energy efficiency by up to 15%. Natural cooling is preferable for small-scale solar PV-TE systems due to less input energy. Sky radiative cooling can produce the overall efficiency of PV-TE systems by about 35.7%.
