9783330089907: Enhancing PV performance using Nanofluids as a coolant

Synopsis

Regions with high solar irradiation would get more light energy that can be exploited through photovoltaic technology to get electrical energy directly. But such high solar irradiation is accompanied by heat energy that overheats the photovoltaic modules resulting in a significant decrease in its efficiency and the output power. Thus, improvement of system can be accomplished through proper cooling of the PV modules. As a result, a good cooling system would have two main advantages: firstly, improving the efficiency and output power of the photovoltaic module. Secondly, instead of wasting the heat energy it can be harvested in many other applications. As long as the heat transfer process is improved, the output power from PV is enhanced and more useful thermal energy could be collected. The main focus of the research is improving the cooling process of the photovoltaic module which can be achieved through two independent factors that are discussed here.
