The purpose of this paper is compare between DC brushless fan and DC hybrid solar panel cooling system. The efficiency of PV module is depending on solar irradiance and ambient temperature. As temperature of PV module increase, the output current will increase but output voltage and output power will decrease and also vice versa. As solar irradiance increase, output current and output power will increase with linear and output voltage will increase with marginal and vice versa. The DC cooling system is a way to fix the issue of low efficiency of PV module with the intention to generate more electrical energy. To make an attempt to cool down the PV module, DC brushless fan and water pump with inlet/outlet manifold are built for constant fresh air movement and water flow circulation at the backside and front surface of PV module. The PV module with DC brushless fan cooling system increase 3.47 %, 29.55 %, 32.23 % in term of output voltage, output current, and output power respectively. It decrease 6.1 °C compare than to PV module without DC brushless fan cooling system. While PV module with DC hybrid cooling system increase 4.99 %, 39.90 %, 42.65 % in term of output voltage, output current, and output power respectively. It decrease 6.79 °C compare to PV module without DC hybrid cooling system. The efficiency of PV module with cooling system was increasing compared to PV module without cooling system, for the reason that the ambient temperature dropped significantly. An increase in efficiency of PV module, investment payback period of the system can reduce and the lifespan of PV module will be prolonged.

Step Down

Step down regulator is a device that can reduce the more significant input voltage to a smaller output voltage. The output is stable and well regulated, although the voltage fluctuates in the recommended input voltage range. In the system using IC LM 2596, the input voltage is 40 Volt dc, and the output voltage is 30 Volt dc. The output current of 15 amperes is applied to charge a 100 Ampere hour (Ah) battery on an inverter system installed and integrated with other electronic devices. The step-down IC LM 2596 will be stable at the output current below 15 Ampere. It is especially stable at load currents from 13.2 Ampere to 14.57 Ampere. In order for the current not to shrink, a good cooling system must be designed to dispose of heat on the IC LM 2596. Because the high heat greatly affects the output current on the IC LM 2596.

Solar Cell Performance

The present work aims at decrease the cost of the photovoltaic (PV) solar system by decreasing the area of expensive solar cells by low cost optical concentrators that give the same output power. Output power of two types’ monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells has been measured with and without presence of linear focus Fresnel lenses (FL) with different concentration ratios. Cooling system has been used to decrease the effect of temperature on solar cell performance. The results indicated that the increase in the output power is about 5.3 times by using Fresnel lens concentrator without using cooling system in comparison with solar cell without concentrator, while it is about 14.6 times by using cooling system. The efficiency of monocrystalline solar cell without cooling system is about 11.2% for solar irradiance 0.698 kW/m2, this value decrease to 3.3% for solar irradiance 12.4 kW/m2 and concentration ratio 17.7 by using Fresnel lens concentrator, while when using cooling system the efficiency enhance to 12.9% and 8.8% for solar irradiance 0.698 and 12.4, respectively.

Abstract This paper analyses the difference in terms of performance of passive cooling systems for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The objective of this paper is to identify which passive cooling systems offers the best results in reducing the operating temperature and improving the generation of output power. The performance of photovoltaic (PV) module will gradually decrease as the operating temperature increases. The energy from the sun’s photons are not enough to knock out the electrons from the atom to generate more electricity. That being the case, two passive cooling systems is developed which is the cotton wick structures with water and aluminium fins were attached to the back side of the photovoltaic (PV) module. The cotton wick structures with water utilises the capillary action of the water to extract excess heat from the module while the aluminium fins act as a heat sink that can remove heat from module to the adjacent air. Results showed that the cooling systems managed to enhance the output power by an average of 3.94% for the module with cotton wick structures with water while an average of 2.67% increment for the module under aluminium fin mounted as the cooling system.

Together with advancement associated with technologies things have gotten simpler and less complicated for people. Automation is usually the employment of manage devices along with details technologies to scale back the need regarding human being do the job inside creation associated with things along with products and services. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is regarded as the famous energy source amongst renewable energy sources which in turn that utilize to relieve usage of fossil fuel. PV energy is usually a lot of abundant energy sources among renewable energy. PV technology is change sunlight energy into electrical energy. The performance of electricity of PV module can be affected by solar irradiance and ambient temperature. When PV technology is process solar irradiance, producing lowered performance of PV modules and increasing temperature of PV module. When the temperature of PV module is reach at or more than 35 °C that detected by LM 35, PIC 18F4550 is switched ON the DC cooling system and vice versa. After switch ON the cooling system, the temperature of PV module is reducing. This controller system is an intelligent system because it will run the cooling system automatically when the temperature of PV module reaches setting level that detected by temperature sensors. The higher efficiency of PV cell, the payback period of the system can be shorted and the lifespan of PV module can also be longer.

In the first experiment, the PV module S1 was covered with stagnant water and the second PV module was unshielded with water. In the second experiment, the PV modules were swapped with S2 covered with stagnant water and S1 unshielded with water. The experiments were carried out under normal operating temperature of PV cells at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Nigeria, Nsukka on latitude 6:52 degrees north, longitude 7:23 degrees. Results obtained from the first experiment show that the efficiency and power output of S1 PV module decreased by 9.3% and 8.0% respectively when compared with that of S2 PV module. In the case of output voltage and current, it was found that shielding of PV module S1 with stagnant water caused an increase in the output voltage by 1.93% and a decrease in the output current by 10.26%. In the second experiment, the efficiency and Output power of PV module S2 decreased by 9.21% and 8.18% respectively when compared with the unshielded PV module S1. In the case of voltage and current, it was found that shielding of PV module S2 with stagnant water caused an increase in the Output voltage by 1.63% and decrease in the output current by 10.91%.
