Title:

solar panel cooling systems

There is a growing need to build and incorporate alternative energy renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Because of the world population, the depletion of fossil fuels, and the reality of climate change, green energy is more important than ever. Solar photovoltaic, or PV, is one such clean energy technology. These panels operate based on silicon cells, which act as semiconductors, emitting electrical energy when exposed to solar radiation. This is accomplished by segregating electrons and protons inside the cell. . One of the most severe problems with Photovoltaic systems is the negative temperature coefficient, which causes a linear decrease in power output and module performance as temperature rises. The leading quality is crystalline silicon solar cells, which decrease conversion efficiency of around 0.5 percent for every degree Celsius of temperature increase. Furthermore, the lifetime of a PV device is greatly shortened due to cell deterioration caused by excessive thermal stress. I designed, prototyped, and tested two cooling systems for PV modules for this project. These systems consume an energy. One was a simple water-cooling system in which water was poured over the system's working surface from a reservoir and uniformly distributed over the working surface through a perforated tube. The second technique was a forced-air cooling mechanism, which used fans to force airflow on solar panels' backside. A combination of water cooling and forced air cooling systems was also evaluated.
