Abstract
ABSTRACT This study experimentally investigates the influence of dimple (DHS), flat plate (FHS), and trapezoidal heat spreader (THS) cooling systems on thermal regulation of low concentrated solar cell (LCPV). It is performed at 1.5 and 2 HS/PV area ratio and HS thicknesses 1 and 2 cm under 3100 W/m2 solar irradiance. Results reveal that using DHS outperforms other cooling systems in terms of cell temperature and electric performance. Increasing HS area ratio and thickness significantly enhances PV performance. DHS, PHS, and THS achieve maximum PV temperature reduction of 44.4, 43.2, and 41°C and PV efficiency improvement of 16.89%, 14.87%, and 13.9%, respectively.
