“…Choosing the right cooling method can improve electrical efficiency and reduce cell degradation over time, thus maximizing the lifespan of solar cells. The most important cooling methods are active/inactive heat pipe [9][10][11], natural/forced air flow [12][13][14], forced water flow [15][16][17][18], concentrator photovoltaics-thermal, photovoltaic-thermal [19], phase change material [20][21][22][23], immersion in water [24], disable heatsink, microchannel (active heatsink) [25][26][27], transparent coating (photon crystal cooling) [28], and thermoelectric module [29]. Our aim in this article is to investigate two of the most important factors affecting the efficiency of cadmium telluride solar cells, which have not been studied in previous works and have not been mentioned in most studies.…”
