Abstract
The cooling of the operating area is an essential operational factor to be taken into account in order to obtain greater efficiency in the operation of photovoltaic systems. Adequate cooling can improve electrical efficiency and reduce the rate of cell damage over time, which helps maximize the life of photovoltaic modules. The excess heat dissipated by the cooling system can be used in a domestic, commercial or industrial setting. Various cooling technologies are included in the review article: hybrid photovoltaic/heating systems cooled by forced air circulation, thermoelectric cooling system, water immersion cooling technology, and improved performance of solar modules using solar cells.
Highlights
A hybrid photovoltaic / thermal solar system is a combination of photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal components systems that generate electricity and heat from one component
Rachid Maouedj et al [2] the article proposes a venture to improve the electrical proficiency of photovoltaic modules with a water-based photovoltaic half and half warm framework (PV-T)
A technique that can be used to lower the surface operating temperature of a photovoltaic module in order to obtain greater electrical efficiency involves the introduction of a transparent coating
Summary
A hybrid photovoltaic / thermal solar system (or, to put it a PVT system) is a combination of photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal components systems that generate electricity and heat from one component. Photovoltaic are used as (part of) the heat absorber [1] These photovoltaic and solar thermal modules, which operate side by side, do not exactly fall within this terminology of “combined panel”. There are alternative approaches to PVT integration. To optimize the overall benefit, design decisions regarding the collector type, the thermal/electrical efficiency ratio and the solar ratio must be made. All of this has a decisive impact on system operation, operating temperature, and efficiency. A projection of future work is provided
