A comprehensive review on various cooling techniques to decrease an operating temperature of solar photovoltaic panels

open access: yesEnergy Nexus, 2022
At present solar power is considered to be one of the most predominant non-conventional and renewable resources when compared with other resources. It does not produce toxic pollutants like conventional fuels while converting them into electric power ...

Mathematical Modelling of a System for Solar PV Efficiency Improvement Using Compressed Air for Panel Cleaning and Cooling

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is greatly reduced by panel soiling and high temperatures. A mechanism for eliminating both of these sources of inefficiencies is presented by integrating solar PV generation with a compressed air system ...

Use of Nanofluid Cooling Techniques Involving Aluminium-Metal Oxide (Al2O3) to Enhance Photovoltaic Panel Efficiency [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The research looks into using an aluminum-metal oxide (Al2O3) nanofluid to cool down photovoltaic (PV) panel surfaces. Researchers looked into how cooling affected the performance of PV panels when exposed to the most sunlight using an alternative method

Gamma-ray emission associated with Cluster-scale AGN Outbursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Recent observations have revealed the existence of enormously energetic ~10^61 erg AGN outbursts in three relatively distant galaxy clusters. These outbursts have produced bubbles in the intra-cluster medium, apparently supported by pressure from ...

Effect of Wind Direction and Velocity on PV Panels Cooling with Perforated Heat Sinks

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The numerical modeling of the effect of wind direction and velocity over the air cooling of PV panels with heat sinks is realized. During the study, a random PV panel with typical characteristics was analyzed for three different wind directions—towards ...
