Abstract:An existing PV system is cooled by heat dissipation to air by straight fins arrays attached at the backside of the panels. However, a little average temperature drop has been achieved in the plant. The current research aims to simulate and investigate the low cooling performance experienced in the plant and recommend improved PV cooling by backside installed fins. A CAD model was constructed with CATIA software and imported to ANSYS-Fluent to simulate and investigate the cause of low cooling performance. In ad… Show more
