Liquid cooling of photovoltaic panels is a very efficient method and achieves satisfactory results. Regardless of the cooling system size or the water temperature, this method of cooling always improves the electrical efficiency of PV modules. The operating principle of this cooling type is based on water use.
Some companies already develop solar panel water-cooling technology. Credit: Sunbooster. A research paper investigating water-cooling for solar panels has shown an increase in voltage change and system yield for panels in high temperatures. In 2021, the power sector faced significant challenges across the entire value chain.
The amount of water flowing through the cooling system depends on the intensity of solar radiation reaching the system. This radiation is also responsible for increasing the volume of gas in the expansion device. The proposed solution increased the electrical efficiency of the PV panels by 8.3%.
The recycled water is collected in a U-shaped borehole heat exchanger (UBHE), installed in an existing well to enhance the cooling capacity. The water exchanges heat with shallow-geothermal energy. Finally, the panel is again sprayed with water to cool it. The water in this cooling system first cooled the PV panel.
Water cooling of PV panels is also studied by Irwan et al. where the performance of PV panels was compared with panels cooled by water flow on the front surface. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions. Water was sprayed on the front face of the panels. A water pump was responsible for spraying water in the cooling system.
The experimental system used a water reservoir, pump, and a sprinkler mounted above a solar module to cool the panel. Practical experiments used a 10-year old, 36W, 24V photovoltaic solar module, and a new 37W photovoltaic module, both tested with and without water.
