EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE OF PV PANEL USING HYBRID COOLING TECHNIQUE

The purpose of this work is to examine the effectiveness of hybrid cooling for photovoltaic (PV) panels. Our research focuses on cutting-edge strategies for cooling and tempering PV panels. It is well knowledge that lowering the panels' temperature may greatly increase their electrical efficiency. This has led to the creation and testing of a plethora of different cooling methods in recent years. It is well-known that when the temperature rises, the efficiency of PV panels drops by about 0.5% per Celsius. Multiple cooling strategies have been investigated as potential solutions to this problem. Because of their simplicity of use, active water and air cooling are the most popular methods. Conductive cooling and the use of phase-change materials are two more methods that have been explored. These cooling solutions have the potential to increase electricity efficiency by anywhere from 3 to 5 percent. The efficiency of these technologies is affected by a wide variety of variables, such as the cooling methods used, the size and kind of PV modules, the location, and the season. In this study, we assess the efficiency of combining several cooling strategies and other ways of temperature regulation. Our goal is to improve PV panel efficiency and overall performance by integrating several cooling methods.
