In cases of higher CR (CR>100), active cooling devices can be used to enhance heat transfer efficiency between the photovoltaic cells, but inevitably, forced cooling devices consume additional electricity .
Given the potential benefits of improved energy efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental preservation linked to advancements in photovoltaic cell performance, researchers have been actively investigating diverse cooling methods to enhance the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of photovoltaic panels.
In regions with more moderate temperatures, the use of a simple finned heat sink is effective in cooling photovoltaic cells. However, it is important to note that this approach adds additional weight to the panels. Another approach, known as forced convection, is effective in cooling, although it demands considerable fan power.
The photovoltaic cell uses between 700 and 1100 nm solar spectrum to produce electrical energy (see Fig. 3), whereas other wavelengths are either reflected or passed through the panel and converted into heat, thus increasing the temperature of the solar cell above the normal operating temperature. Fig. 3.
The PV/T system enhances electrical power generation and harnesses additional thermal energy. However, this technology is typically classified as an active cooling method that relies on water pumping power. Its performance is influenced by diverse cooling channel designs, including porous, converging, double channel, and various designs.
When heat is applied to one end of the tube, the liquid inside it immediately evaporates and travels to the other cold side of the tube, allowing for rapid condensation of the vapor. Thus, this technique passively releases the absorbed heat during evaporation, which is suitable for cooling photovoltaic cells (Table 13).
