| Popis: | This paper briefs the significance of Phase Change Material and Nanofluid in photovoltaic panel cooling technique. Because of the continuous insolation base temperature of photovoltaic cell increases which, degrades the conversion efficiency as well as the life span of a photovoltaic cell. Therefore cooling techniques are required to overcome this effect. This paper reveals the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of active and passive cooling techniques. Detailed SWOC analysis of water cooling, air cooling, nanofluid cooling, PCM cooling, natural cooling, and heat pipe cooling has been included in this paper. After reviewing the literature, paper concludes that PCM possesses enormous opportunity to effectively reduce the PV panel's base temperature but is still not being used due to inadequate design, technical challenges and high cost. Findings of this paper help to develop an integrated cooling method using appropriate cooling techniques. |
