“…Before the aluminum foil was opened and exposed to the solar simulator light for 40 minutes, the solar simulator's intensity stabilized under PV circumstances for the first 15 minutes. The halogen lamp is perpendicular to the PV on the solar simulator, which is 2.5 meters high [15,16]. With less than 5% non-uniformity, the halogen light is 75 cm from the PV [17].…”

Solar energy is a clean, abundant, and low-emission renewable energy source. Photovoltaic (PV) technology can convert solar energy into electrical energy; however, it still has a poor output efficiency since high temperatures can lower PV efficiency. Phase Change Materials (PCM) can absorb latent heat, which can be applied to PV as a passive cooling system. In this study, 50 wp PV was treated without and with PCM as a passive cooling system to determine the PV performance. This study compares three PCM types: soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax. Utilizing the PV-PCM panel temperature modeling technique, the inaccuracy in the experimental data was ascertained. According to the simulation, soy wax, paraffin, and beeswax PV panels had average temperatures of 48.6℃, 45.8℃, and 42.6℃, respectively, at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The experimental results show that PCM beeswax is the best in reducing the working temperature of PV from 60.7℃ to 52.5℃ at an intensity of 1100 W/m2. The results showed that PV with PCM beeswax treatment as a passive cooler could increase the maximum PV output power of 3.04 Watt and the maximum efficiency of PV by 0.94% by lowering the maximum temperature of PV by 8.2℃ compared to PV without a cooling system.

“…In this instance, fieldwork circumstances are simulated using a solar simulator [30]. The solar simulator is built for panels with a 50 Wp capacity, 16% effective area, and 2.61% non-uniformity [31]. Using a data logger (Labjack-U6, US), a K-type thermocouple is used to measure and record panel temperature data.…”

Using solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels has excellent potential as an alternative energy source. However, the problem of high operating temperatures causing a reduction in work efficiency needs to be addressed. This study aimed to analyze the development of a cooling system to increase PV panels' electrical and thermal efficiency. The research involved analyzing the use of TiO2, Al2O3, and ZnO working fluids by adding 0.5 vol% to water in an active cooling method. The cooling system involved a rectangular spiral and a rectangular tube behind the PV panel. A solar simulator simulated solar radiation with intensity variations to analyze the cooling system's performance in different working conditions. The results showed that the heat exchanger with a nanofluid configuration reduced the panel temperature by 14 oC, which increased the electrical efficiency by up to 4.7% in the ZnO nanofluid. In the rectangular spiral configuration, the ZnO nanofluid reduced the panel temperature from 60 to 45 oC, increasing the Isc value from 2.16A to 2.9A and the Voc value from 21.5V to 23V. This resulted in a maximum power increase of the panel to 53W. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-08 Full Text: PDF

“…Halogen lamps were chosen for use with this solar simulator because they are reliable, inexpensive, and readily available. The solar simulator is designed for a panel capacity of 50 Wp with an effective area of 16% and a non-uniformity of 2.61% [33]. Measurement and storage of panel temperature data using a K-type thermocouple with a data logger (Labjack-U6, US).…”

As the primary basis for electricity production, fossil fuels continue to decline. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) can be developed by utilizing solar energy. However, solar PV has low efficiency due to overheating from solar irradiation. This article analyzed forced convection Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV water cooling to lower the PV temperature and increase efficiency. The heat exchanger uses a spiral and rectangular configuration mounted on the back of the Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV panel with water flow. Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV testing using a solar simulator at an intensity of 470 W/m2, 625 W/m2, 870 W/m2, and 1000 W/m2. The test results show a decreased working temperature on spiral cooling at all intensities compared to solar PV without cooling. This impacts the low-performance value of solar PV without cooling. The intensity of 1000 W/m2 has a high value due to the release of electrons from the atoms in the cell. These results impact increasing electricity efficiency in Sunwatt 50Wp solar PV by cooling. At high intensity, the temperature increases causing the ability to increase efficiency to decrease. However, water cooling can increase electrical efficiency because the particles are evenly distributed in the heat exchanger, which causes a high heat transfer rate.
