Abstract

This study deals with the cooling of a photovoltaic solar panel (PV) by a water cooling system. We propose to use circulating water between an insulated tank and the back side of the PV panel, with a flow rate of 50 g/s over three periods of 24 hours. 3D numerical simulations are performed using a CFD code. The results show that the circulation of water in closed circuit, allows an effective and sustained cooling during the three periods. Moreover, uniform temperature distribution over the entire solar panel was observed. However, at the area of the box of electric wires the temperature rise locally.
