Various cooling techniques can be employed to cool solar cells, including passive cooling methods, such as natural convection and radiation, and active cooling methods, involving the use of a water-spray cooling technique (Figure 4) . Figure 5 shows the immersion of polycrystalline solar cells in water .
A comprehensive review of different cooling methods of solar PV cell. Jet impingement cooling method in hybrid PV-wind systems found better than simple PV systems. In the nanofluid cooling method, the strength of cooling depends on the nanoparticles volume fraction.
Cooling cells and coordinating their use are vital to energy efficiency and longevity, which can help save energy, reduce energy costs, and achieve global emission targets. The primary objective of this review is to provide a thorough and comparative analysis of recent developments in solar cell cooling.
Cooling the operating surface is a key operational factor to take into consideration to achieve higher efficiency when operating solar photovoltaic systems. Proper cooling can improve the electrical efficiency, and decrease the rate of cell degradation with time, resulting in maximisation of the life span of photovoltaic modules.
The PV panels can be cooled by forced and natural flow of air depending on active and passive cooling categories respectively. Active cooling is performed by the forced airflow in the channels created behind the panel or directly on the surface of the cells by means of a fan and a pump.
Each degree of cooling of a silicon solar cell can increase its power production by 0.4–0.5%. Therefore, achieving additional cooling of a cell by more than 1.5 °C beyond the existing standard module practices in any location could be beneficial.
