Abstract. This research investigates the essential role of cooling systems in optimizing the performance of photovoltaic panels, particularly in hot climates. Elevated temperatures on the back surface of photovoltaic panels pose a challenge, potentially reducing electrical output and overall efficiency.
This issue is particularly prominent in hot fi regions like southern Jordan and Jordan Valley during the summer season, where temperatures are notably high. Therefore, a cooling system is essential to mitigate these temperature-related challenges, especially on the back surfaces of photovoltaic panels.
Forced convection cooling for PV solar panels is a sophisticated method designed to actively regulate and control the temperature. It employs mechanical components, such as fans or blowers, strate-gically positioned to facilitate the continuous circulation of ambient air over the PV panels.
