The Photovoltaic (PV) cell converts a portion of incident irradiation of visible wavelength into electricity and the remaining into heat, thereby decreasing the electrical efficiency. Hence, it is necessary to transfer the heat generated in the module by a cooling medium, thereby maintaining the operating temperature within the operating limit. This study discusses the feasibility of cooling the monocrystalline and polycrystalline modules by using rehashed edible oil (coconut oil, sesame oil, and peanut oil) with an integrated oil tank attached to the backside of the module. This study has used the environmentally friendly rehashed edible oil as a coolant, which can be used as an alternate to the toxic mineral oil. Hence, this study can prevent the consumption of reused edible oil along with the food, which causes harmful effects on human health. The rehashed edible oil flows from the storage tank through the backside of the module and is collected in another storage tank, which can be reused. Also, the performance of the monocrystalline and polycrystalline modules under different rehashed edible oil shows a significant reduction in module temperature and improvement in the efficiency of the module. The performance of the peanut oil is found to be superior in improving the performance by 14.0 % and 16.8 % on monocrystalline and polycrystalline modules respectively. |
