1. PV panels cooling systems Cooling of PV panels is used to reduce the negative impact of the decrease in power output of PV panels as their operating temperature increases. Developing a suitable cooling system compensates for the decrease in power output and increases operational reliability.
Active cooling techniques, such as those involving water or air circulation, can effectively remove heat from the PV cells, but they often require energy input from pumps or fans, which can offset some of the energy gains. Several cooling techniques are employed for solar PV, and how these technologies impact solar PV is discussed in .
This review paper provides a thorough analysis of cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels. It encompasses both passive and active cooling methods, including water and air cooling, phase-change materials, and various diverse approaches.
The following key findings for each cooling method are summarized based on previous research work. Active cooling of PV systems uses forced air, water, and nanofluids to extract heat from PV panels. Active air-cooling requires air ducts, blowers, or fans to lower the panel's temperature on the rear side.

When the photovoltaic panels are exposed to solar radiation, part of the energy of the incident radiation is transformed into heat accumulated inside these panels.
The effects of temperature and solar radiation on the main parameters of three different types of photovoltaic cells have been studied in [14, 15]. Researchers reported that the effect of
PV panels can enhance efficiency through active water-cooling techniques such as water-spraying, water-flowing, or nanofluids. These methods regulate the temperature of solar cells,
