Improving Pv Module Efficiency Through Cooling, Blake Bradley
Improving Pv Module Efficiency Through Cooling, Blake Bradley
Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
The Solarbacks researched and designed a variety of cooling methods that could be used to improve the efficiency of photovoltaics. These cooling methods can be separated into two categories: active and passive methods. The active cooling method of hydraulic cooling and the passive cooling methods of heat sinks (fins), optical coatings, thermosyphons, phase change materials, and thermoelectric generators were all taken into consideration as potential cooling methods. Passive cooling methods were preferred because the use of electricity required for the cooling mechanism would reduce the net electricity and subsequent profit from the panels.
Two variations of hydraulic cooling were researched: …
