Active Cooling Of Solar Panels

Air conditioning water refrigeration etc.

Active cooling of solar panels.

The most obvious way to cool a solar panel would be to use the same methods that we use to cool anything else. Without active cooling the temperature of the module was high and solar cells can only achieve an efficiency of 8 9. Scientists from egypt s benha university have proposed an active cooling technique for pv panels based on the use of water and a mixture of aluminum oxide al 2 o 3 and phase change material. It is assumed that the maximum allowable temperature of the pv panel is 45 c beyond which cooling of the pv panel should start by water spraying of the panels till its temperature goes down to 35 c.

Hybrid photovoltaic thermal pv t solar system is one of the most popular methods for cooling the photovoltaic panels nowadays 12 13 14. The hybrid system consists of a solar photovoltaic. There are a variety of ways in which pv panel can be cooled. The temperature of the pv panel before and after cooling is 45 c and 35 c respectively.
