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.
A comprehensive review of different cooling methods of solar PV cell. Jet impingement cooling method in hybrid PV-wind systems found better than simple PV systems. In the nanofluid cooling method, the strength of cooling depends on the nanoparticles volume fraction.
Solar panels are made from lots of solar cells. solar cell Solar cells are put together to make a solar panel. Made from a material called silicon, solar cells convert the light from the sun into electricity. You can see an example of solar cells on the top of some calculators.
When sunlight hits layers of silicon inside solar cells, an electric charge builds up, creating a flow of electricity. Solar panels are mainly located on the roofs of homes and buildings and can generate electricity and heat water free of charge. In the Northern Hemisphere (including Scotland) solar panels work best when they face south.
Table 2. A review of Air and Water cooling techniques of solar PV cell. The results show that the average annual efficiency of PV panels for cooling with water and air is 12.65% and 12.58%, respectively, and annual energy generation is 270.93 k W. h r and 269.53 k W. h r, respectively.
A water spray technique was constructed by Moharram et al. to cool solar panels. The device comprises of P.V. modules, a storage tank, a pump, spray nozzles and recycling system. With the use of water spray, the solar panel temperature reduces to 35 °C. 3.5. Phase change material (conductive)
