This review paper provides a thorough analysis of cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels. It encompasses both passive and active cooling methods, including water and air cooling, phase-change materials, and various diverse approaches.
Liquid cooling of photovoltaic panels is a very efficient method and achieves satisfactory results. Regardless of the cooling system size or the water temperature, this method of cooling always improves the electrical efficiency of PV modules. The operating principle of this cooling type is based on water use.
Additionally, conducting an experimental setup study that incorporates PV panels equipped with an automatic spray cooling system, PV panels with heat sinks, PV panels with evaporative techniques, and standard PV panels would facilitate a comprehensive comparison of these passive cooling techniques under consistent weather conditions.
For example, it was depicted that optical cooling techniques can enhance the performance of PV systems by up to 4.2% and the solar-to-heat conversion efficiency by up to 47%.
Active cooling solutions enhance performance by lowering the temperature of PV modules by up to 30 °C. In, the researchers suggested various cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels. The aluminum fins and PCM thermoelectric (TE) were selected for cooling.
The PV cooling system was constructed by connecting a flat PV module with an active area of 1.65 m2 with the buried EAHE. An ambient air simulator comprising a centrifugal air blower and an air heater (electric heating chamber) with controllable temperature was employed.
Furthermore, as phase change materials would liquefy during the operational process, any encapsulation issues could result in a significant risk of environmental
