研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of life span and overall performance of Solar Photovoltaic cells using water as a coolant.
研究成果
The use of water as a coolant for solar PV modules significantly reduces operating temperatures, thereby improving electrical conversion efficiency and extending the lifespan of the modules. Various water cooling techniques, including front, rear, both surfaces cooling, and immersion cooling, have been shown to enhance performance, with specific methods offering better results under certain conditions.
研究不足
The review highlights the dependency of cooling effectiveness on water flow rates, ambient conditions, and the design of cooling systems. It also points out the need for energy to circulate water, which could offset some of the efficiency gains.
