“…After being given cooling using a rectangular tube and rectangular spiral configuration, the temperature decreased to 57.4℃ and 56.6℃. In this case, it can be seen that cooling with a rectangular spiral shows a lower working temperature [38]. Using the cooling channel, as the water temperature increases, the temperature difference between the cooling channel and the water becomes smaller, so the heat transfer drops sharply.…”

As the primary basis for electricity production, fossil fuels continue to decline. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) can be developed by utilizing solar energy. However, solar PV has low efficiency due to overheating from solar irradiation. This article analyzed forced convection Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV water cooling to lower the PV temperature and increase efficiency. The heat exchanger uses a spiral and rectangular configuration mounted on the back of the Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV panel with water flow. Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV testing using a solar simulator at an intensity of 470 W/m2, 625 W/m2, 870 W/m2, and 1000 W/m2. The test results show a decreased working temperature on spiral cooling at all intensities compared to solar PV without cooling. This impacts the low-performance value of solar PV without cooling. The intensity of 1000 W/m2 has a high value due to the release of electrons from the atoms in the cell. These results impact increasing electricity efficiency in Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV by cooling. At high intensity, the temperature increases causing the ability to increase efficiency to decrease. However, water cooling can increase electrical efficiency because the particles are evenly distributed in the heat exchanger, which causes a high heat transfer rate.

“…Photovoltaic Thermal Collector (PVT)-based active cooling technology makes it possible to increase the efficiency of PV solar cells and generate other types of energy simultaneously through the direct conversion of solar radiation [ 15 ]. This cooling utilizes fluid flow in a pipe with a specific model attached to the bottom of the solar cell.…”

Solar energy is a clean, abundant, and low-emission renewable energy source. Photovoltaic (PV) technology can convert solar energy into electrical energy; however, it still has a poor output efficiency since high temperatures can lower PV efficiency. Phase Change Materials (PCM) can absorb latent heat, which can be applied to PV as a passive cooling system. In this study, 50 wp PV was treated without and with PCM as a passive cooling system to determine the PV performance. This study compares three PCM types: soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax. Utilizing the PV-PCM panel temperature modeling technique, the inaccuracy in the experimental data was ascertained. According to the simulation, soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax PV panels had average temperatures of 48.6℃, 45.8℃, and 42.6℃, respectively, at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The experimental results show that PCM beeswax is the best in reducing the working temperature of PV from 60.7℃ to 52.5℃ at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The results showed that PV with PCM beeswax treatment as a passive cooler could increase the maximum PV output power of 3.04 Watt and the maximum efficiency of PV by 0.94% by lowering the maximum temperature of PV by 8.2℃ compared to PV without a cooling system.
