Cooling photovoltaic panels with air convection – Parametric environmental and economic analysis with case studies

e-Prime: Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy
Photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity due to photoelectric effect, harvesting solar radiation from the sun. However, the hit of photons on the upper surface of the PV panel increases its temperature, and as a result, decreases its efficiency. The
