1. PV panels cooling systems Cooling of PV panels is used to reduce the negative impact of the decrease in power output of PV panels as their operating temperature increases. Developing a suitable cooling system compensates for the decrease in power output and increases operational reliability.
Only 20 % of solar radiation is converted into useful electricity; the other amount is lost as heat, which raises the module's working temperature. Thus, suitable cooling methods can be applied to enhance PV performance . PV panels can be cooled using a variety of techniques based on either passive or active processes.
Hence, it becomes a necessity to control the working temperature range by the effective cooling of PV panels. Therefore, choosing a cooling solution could increase the life of solar cells as well as increase the working efficiency and power output of solar cells.
To improve photovoltaic (PV) panels' efficiency, one of the ways to do so is to maintain the correct working temperature for maximum yield of energy. This paper involves discussion of newly developed cooling methods such as cooling by nanofluids, heat sink by thermoelectric modules and radiative cooling methods which are very efficient for cooling.
