Abstract

The way that energy is produced across the world has altered recently. The use of renewable energy has increased because it does not harm the environment in the same way that other energy sources, such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, etc., do because of the pollution they produce. In addition, the cost of producing renewable energy is lower than that of fossil fuels. Since the technologies used to convert solar radiation into a reliable power source have advanced significantly over the past few years and have demonstrated their high efficiency in energy production, demand for energy has recently increased significantly. Solar energy is one of the types of renewable energy. The most popular technique is photovoltaic (PV) modules since it generates energy directly. This study's main goal is to increase photovoltaic (PV) modules' operating capacity while also improving their overall efficiency. PV modules play a crucial part in the field of harvesting solar energy, serving as one of the most well-known ways to make use of the sun's unbounded potential as a leading source of renewable energy. The results of a thorough experimental investigation that examined the effects of PV module cooling and identified the most effective cooling techniques to optimize PV module performance within the particular context of Nablus City, located in Palestine, are revealed in this study. The horizontally divided box was discovered to be the most effective cooling technique, resulting in a 30% reduction in temperature and a 0.5% boost in efficiency.
