Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Performance of solar PV diminishes with the increase in temperature of the solar modules. Therefore, to further facilitate the reduction in cost of photovoltaic energy, new approaches to limit module temperature increase in natural ambient conditions should be explored.
Using phase change materials improved performance by 35.8 %, while hybrid cooling techniques reduced PV temperatures by an average of 10 °C. Nanofluids enhanced PV efficiency by 13.5 %, and heat-resistant coatings increased thermal efficiency by 16.57 %. Dust caused a 7.4 %–12.35 % power reduction.
Advances in PV cooling have expanded beyond traditional active and passive approaches, exploring the potential of combined techniques. Combining passive and active cooling techniques for PV panels results in increasing cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption .
For PV modules, common active cooling methods include forced liquid circulation, heat pump (HP), jet impingement, and water spraying . These techniques make use of moving components, including fans and pumps, to promote fluid movement and transfer heat from the panel.
Self-cleaning coatings Sunlight is refracted and reflected due to the reflective nature of the photovoltaic panel's cover glass, even with a perfect panel surface. To tackle these issues, photovoltaic solar cells and their cover glass receive anti-reflective and self-cleaning treatments.
Their Experimental results demonstrated a significant improvement in daily output, with an increase of 8.12 % to 9.39 % contrasted to the not cooled PV panel. Also, the maximum power enhancement reached 20.25 %, with an average improvement of 8.57 %.
