Active cooling of PV panel using multiple cooling techniques with water as cooling medium: Most of the researches widely use two techniques; one is to enhance the efficiency of the solar PV cell and another to ensure a longer life span at the same time.
However, it has a major role to play in P.V. generation. When the wind flows, basically, the temperature of solar cell drops . The wind cools the solar panels resulting in producing less vibration of the electrons so the electrons can carry more energy while moving to the upper state. Solar P.V. cooled by 1 °C are 0.05% more effective. 3.
Moreover, active PCM cooling can extend the operational life of PV modules. High temperatures can lead to accelerated aging and degradation of the module components, including the encapsulant, back sheet, and even the solar cells themselves.
