A thermoelectric cooling system can be used for solar photovoltaic system by integrating the thermoelectric materials with the heat sink that is in contact with the solar panels. The hot portion of thermoelectric materials would be connected to the solar panels, while the cold side is exposed to the external environment.
Beginning with an introduction to global warming's impact and renewable energy's significance, the article explores cooling methodologies for solar PVs. These encompass Absorption & adsorption-based, PV/T hybrid, Microtechnology-based, and Water and air-based cooling systems.
Another conventional approach for cooling of PV systems was the utilisation of wind instead of water. In 2014, M. Rahimi and others designed and constructed a cone shaped wind collecting cooling device which not only cooled the PV cell but also acted as a turbine for producing electricity, thereby enabling dual advantage.
In improving the performance of solar PV panels nanofluid cooling technique has gained attention. The nanoparticles, (with typical length scale of ≤ 100 nm) penetrates through the microscopic pores of solar panel and increases the effective area of contact between the coolant and the solar panel.
