One convenient technology used nowadays are solar photovoltaic panels. It is a device used to alter light energy to electrical energy. Most of the panels have low energy conversion resulting to low efficiency of the panel itself. Among the different factors, temperature mostly affects the process of conversion which causes deficiency throughout the operating period on the long run. As solution, varieties of different cooling systems were developed to sustain the operating temperature in order to not go over a specific limit. This study compares the solar photovoltaic panel power output without cooling system and with the hybrid air-and water-cooling fluids applied to the system simultaneously. The angle is fixed at 15 degrees based on the country's latitudinal location where the experiments were performed. Current, voltage, power, irradiance and efficiency were gathered data using each parameter sensor. Results shows a substantial rise f efficiency on the panel that uses a hybrid cooling system liken to the standard power rating of the panel used.

“…When hybrid solar cells are used to heat water in addition to their photovoltaic function, the cells temperature can reduce by up to 16 ⁰C, increasing the systems overall efficiency by 57 % [14]. Similar to water, air cooling could potentially decrease the solar cells temperature but was found to be less effective and resulted in reductions of only 2 ⁰C to 5 ⁰C [16][17][18]. A recent novel active cooling technique explored in reference [19] suggested evaporative cooling.…”
