This paper consists analysis on performance enhancement of solar photovoltaic cell by using reflecting and cooling system. The performance of PV (photovoltaic) module is strongly dependent on its surface temperature and solar radiation strikes on PV panel. It is necessary to study possible way for maintaining the appropriate temperature for solar panels and make system that will help to strikes maximum solar radiation on panel. High solar radiation and ambient temperature lead to an elevated photovoltaic cell operating temperature, which affects its lifespan and power output adversely. To enhance the electrical performance of the PV module we make one system which consists of two mirrors as a reflector placing beside solar panel and cooling system consists of pipe placed on upper area of solar panel. At time of sunrise and sunset low solar radiation is fall on solar panel, so reflecting system increase the intensity of solar radiation fall on solar panel. At noon time or afternoon the temperature of solar panel is increases it will decrease the efficiency of solar panel to minimize that cooling system is introduced that controlled the surface temperature.

In this paper, a simulation of a photovoltaic–thermal (PV/T) hybrid solar system with longitudinal fins absorbers was developed to determine optimal geometry parameters for conventional design of this system. In this case, we used a dynamic model based on the principle of the airflow rate to determine the optimum design of the PV/T system for each airflow velocity. In this regard, the influences of the geometric parameters (number, height) on the collector performance of each model with different flow velocities were investigated. The mathematical model is developed using the energy balance equations of the PV/T air collector. A good agreement is obtained between the simulation results and the reference data from the literature after the system PV/T air collector is evaluated by calculating the root mean square error. The studied cases indicate that for the four simulated models, the best highest performance rate is providing with the first model at 2[Formula: see text]m/s airflow velocity. The thermal and electric efficiencies were reached 83% and 12.85%, respectively, with the maximum temperature value on the photovoltaic cell as [Formula: see text]C. However, a combined efficiency for the hybrid PV/T solar collector, which is the sum of the electrical efficiency and thermal efficiency, is equal to 95.98%.

Abstract The cooling fluid is a key factor in cooling photovoltaic (PV) panels especially in the case of concentrated irradiance. Maintaining the panel at low temperature increases its efficiency. This paper investigates the usage of water-Al2O3 as a nanofluid for achieving the required cooling process. The particle concentrations and sizes are investigated to record their effect on heat transfer and pressure drop in the developing and developed regions. The research was performed using ANSYS CFD software with two different approaches: the single phase with average properties, and the discrete phase with the Eulerian-Lagrangian frame-work. Both approaches are compared to experimental results found in the literature. Both approaches show good agreement with the experimental results, with some advantage for the single-phase model both in processing time and in predicting heat transfer in the concentration range of 1-6% by volume. It was shown that, the heat transfer coefficient is greatly enhanced by increasing the particle concentration or decreasing the particle size. On the other hand, the usage of nanofluid causes a severe increase in the pumping power, especially with the increase in concentration and the reduction in particle size. Thus, a system optimization was suggested in order to raise the overall system efficiency for photovoltaic applications.

The development in the field of semiconductor materials and electronic devices has a great impact on systems with renewable energy sources. Determination of the functional parameters of photovoltaic solar cells is essential for the subsequent usage of these semiconductor devices. Research was made on type P+PNN+ monocrystalline silicon wafers. Crystallographic measurements of the photovoltaic solar cell were made by means of FESEM-FIB Auriga Workstation. Initial data were selected from the study of models found in the specialized literature. The experimental results were compared to classical mathematical models. Measurements made on the photovoltaic solar cell were realised in laboratory conditions on the NI-ELVIS platform produced by National Instruments.
