The designed cooling box fluid domain is coupled with the thermal side of the PV module. Various inlet flow rates and temperatures are tested to reach optimum cooling. The electrical conversion efficiency of the cooled module is compared to the non-cooled one, along with the thermal efficiency of the new system.
For solar photoelectric conversion cooling technologies, PV cells are used to convert solar energy into electric energy and the electric energy is used to drive conventional vapor-compression chillers. Among solar photothermal conversion cooling technologies, the solar absorption cooling technology is the most cost-saving.
Many cooling technologies have been developed and used for PV modules to lower cell temperature and boost electric energy yield. However, little crucial review work was proposed to comment cooling technologies for PV modules.
The Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system combines the conventional PV panel with solar collector into one integrated system, which could achieve the function of generating power and providing thermal energy at the same time.
