Abstract
Both numerical and experimental methods are used to investigate the cooling of concentration photovoltaic (CPV) cells. A numerical study presents the temperature distribution under different heat flux and some other outdoor conditions. The CPV (12 suns) system was experimentally studied, and the results show that the CPV could enhance electric power with a good cooling system. A heat pipe gives a uniform, reliable, simple and costless cooling method. The oscillating heat pipe, without an air fan or a pump, and no power consumption, is suitable for the higher CPV system.
