“…Leow et al (2016) analyzed the effect of wind speed on the temperature distribution of solar panels. Their study highlighted how increased wind speeds could moderate panel temperatures effectively, yet failed to consider the variations in panel inclination angles which could significantly alter these effects [18].…”

This paper presents a foresight simulation of perovskite solar modules, focusing on their behavior under different wind velocities and the thermal effects of varying solar irradiance conditions. Despite the burgeoning interest in Perovskite solar panels (PSPs) due to their lower material costs and promising efficiencies, there exist significant research gaps, particularly in the interaction between wind flow and thermal variations, as well as the performance dynamics under distinct wind velocities. To address these gaps, Finite Element Modelling (FEM) simulations were conducted to analyze the thermal stability and wind stress resistance of PSPs, employing a structural design analogous to commercial silicon PV panels. The simulations revealed that the implementation of a cooling system effectively lowered the average temperature of the perovskite layer by a factor of 2.46, significantly reducing the risk of thermal degradation. Additionally, wind stress simulations demonstrated a direct proportionality between the vertical pressure on the panels and their inclination angles, suggesting that lower angles could minimize wind-induced damage while considering daily solar azimuth. The study's outcomes contribute to the understanding of PSPs' mechanical and thermal resilience, proposing an optimized design approach for enhanced durability and efficiency in real-world applications. However, the segregation of thermal and wind flow simulations suggests an area for further integrated studies to fully comprehend the simultaneous effects of environmental factors on PSP performance.

“…While [24] reported that the amount of electrical power generated using photovoltaic modules depends on the temperature of the cells; the higher the cell temperature, the higher the lost in power output. [25] revealed that to obtain better performance efficiency from photovoltaics they should be operated in an environment with considerable wind speed to enable adequate cooling of the PV modules. While [26] employed multi-concept cooling techniques to enhance the output power and efficiency of PV modules.…”

The increase in PV panel temperature with increasing level of solar power and solar flux is a major disadvantage when using Photovoltaics for electricity generation. Nigeria is a country that is blessed with enormous amount of sunlight throughout the year which should make it a good environment for the generation of electricity via photovoltaic technology. The daytime temperature of Nigeria is a major barrier towards the effective generation of electricity via photovoltaic technology. To remedy this issue of temperature, a cooling mechanism has to be considered in the process of any PV system design. An automatic cooling mechanism and an intelligent photovoltaic maximum power point tracker were deployed in the study. Experimental measurements were carried out in real outdoor conditions. The results of the study reveal an average increase of 6.42%, 7.77%, 18.34%, and 18.15% for voltage, current, power and efficiency respectively for the PV module under thermal regulation. This study demonstrates that cooling mechanism should be incorporated in the process of designing photovoltaic systems for optimum energy yield.

“…The PV module performance has been represented by several models aimed at increasing system power output. Various authors have modelled the critical PV module temperature and its relation to meteorological conditions [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], primarily through considering thermal radiation, convection, and conduction mechanisms relating to the power generated. For example, Armstrong et al [31] studied an overall thermal response as a function of loss coefficient, resulting in a linear relationship between module temperature and irradiance under steady-state conditions.…”

This paper examines the performance of solar photovoltaic generators on roofs of residential buildings. The primary focus is the loss of performance due to temperature increase as function of roof material and the distance from the photovoltaic (PV) generator to the roof. A heat transfer model has been developed to predict PV module temperature, and the equations of the model were solved using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software. The research modeling correlates the distance of the solar generator to the roof and the roofing material with the temperature variations in the PV generator. There are many models to predict PV module temperature, but this study refines the prediction by the distance from PV module to roof and the roofing material as variables. Optimal combinations of distance and materials that minimize the heating loss in the solar generator leading to increased electrical power generation. Results show an average error of 3%–4% from the temperature predicted by the model to the temperature measured under experimental conditions in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The minimum roof-module separation required to ensure minimal PV performance loss from heating from the roof is ∼10 cm for red ceramic and cement fiber roofs. For galvanized steel, the optimal distance is between 20 cm and 30 cm. Cement fiber shows the best predicted and measured characteristics for PV-panel roof mounting among the 3-common commercial roofs evaluated in these studies. These investigations were based on roof installations and local materials in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
