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.
As test results show the efficiency of solar PV can have an increasing rate of 47% with the cooled condition, a cooling system is proposed for possible system setup of residential solar PV application.
This increase is associated with the absorbed sunlight that is converted into heat, resulting in reduced power output, energy efficiency, performance and life of the panel. The use of cooling techniques can offer a potential solution to avoid excessive heating of P.V. panels and to reduce cell temperature.
