Various cooling techniques can be employed to cool solar cells, including passive cooling methods, such as natural convection and radiation, and active cooling methods, involving the use of a water-spray cooling technique (Figure 4) . Figure 5 shows the immersion of polycrystalline solar cells in water .
Classification of cooling techniques Scientists are working on cooling systems for reducing solar cell operating temperatures, which are known as active and passive cooling systems. The appropriate cooling of the P.V. array tends to reduce the loss of output and increases the reliability of the P.V. module.
Active PCMs offer precise control, while passive PCMs are simpler and more efficient in terms of energy use, but they offer less control over temperature. Moreover, an innovative review of advanced cooling methods is presented, highlighting their potential to improve the efficiency of solar cells. 1. Introduction
Overview of Cooling System Technique Various cooling techniques can be employed to cool solar cells, including passive cooling methods, such as natural convection and radiation, and active cooling methods, involving the use of a water-spray cooling technique (Figure 4) .
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.
Cooling cells and coordinating their use are vital to energy efficiency and longevity, which can help save energy, reduce energy costs, and achieve global emission targets. The primary objective of this review is to provide a thorough and comparative analysis of recent developments in solar cell cooling.
