Solar Photovoltaic Systems (SPV) cater the energy requirements in sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly manner worldwide. PV cells accumulate nearly 70-80 % of sunlight that hits the solar PV panel. It converts 15-23 % of this absorbed incident solar energy into electricity. First generation/invented silicon solar photovoltaic panels were 5-6 % efficient. Today, PV conversion efficiency of different commercially available solar panels varies from 15 to 23 %. Number of efforts have been done and ongoing for enhancing the Solar PV panel efficiency. Researchers developed PV cells reported efficiencies up to 51%. Thermal energy management of SPV system is one of the most promising way. For every degree of SPV panel surface temperature rise, efficiency drops from 0.4-0.65 %. Hence, thermal management and cooling is of prime consideration for efficiency and economy of solar PV systems. Phase change material (PCM) based cooling technologies are most promising, grown up speedily, practically viable and successfully incorporated with SPV systems technically and economically also extending the life of SPV Systems. 1-6 % efficiency enhancement reported by lowering the panel surface temperature of 2-12°C using PCM based cooling technologies. This work introduces significant review on Solar PV panel cooling technologies, variety of PCMs incorporated in modern PV/PCM systems, efficiencies and their economic aspects.
