This review paper provides a thorough analysis of cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels. It encompasses both passive and active cooling methods, including water and air cooling, phase-change materials, and various diverse approaches.
Summary of most experimental studies conducted on photovoltaic panels integrated with heat pumps as active cooling techniques. The electrical conversion efficiency yielded a surplus of 10.3 %. These studies demonstrate the integration of heat pumps with PV panels to enhance the electrical efficiency of PV systems.
These PV panel cooling techniques have been classified mainly on the basis of Active cooling techniques and Passive cooling techniques. The representation below shows a brief classification of various other techniques categorized under Active and Passive methods. Figure 1. Classification of Cooling Techniques.
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. The work carried out by Shrey Verma et al. explains the cooling methods i.e., heat sink, heat pipe, PCM material based, microchannel, thermoelectric (Peltier).
