The cooling methods used are described under four broad categories: passive cooling techniques, active cooling techniques, PCM cooling, and PCM with additives. Many studies made a general review of the methods of cooling PV solar cells, especially the first three methods.
The active cooling technique is considered an effective way to improve the photovoltaic performance, but it depends on an external power source, so the external power is deducted from the power produced from the PV cells, reducing the net output power produced from the PV cells.
The choice of cooling method should be based on specific environmental conditions, efficiency improvements desired, cost considerations, and maintenance capabilities. This detailed comparison helps in making an informed decision for selecting the most suitable cooling technique for optimizing the performance and longevity of photovoltaic systems.
Research has focused on enhancing the photovoltaic (PV) conversion efficiency of the cells by exploring methods to cool PV systems, as elevated PV temperatures can reduce conversion efficiency. The efficiency of cooling photovoltaic cells relies on phase-change materials (PCMs) with high latent heat capacities .
Many cooling methods are used to cool solar cells, such as passive cooling, active cooling, cooling with phase change materials (PCMs), and cooling with PCM with other additives such as nanoparticles or porous metal.
Immersion cooling, heat pipes, natural air cooling with fins, heat sinks, and improved heat exchanger designs were found to yield uniform temperature in most of the PV installations. Heat pipe cooling with its high heat flux dissipation capability was shown to be effective for PV cooling.
