Abstract:

The study on the cooling effect of attached fins of different geometries on photovoltaic (PV) panels using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is motivated by the increasing demand for efficient cooling solutions in solar energy systems. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of parametric studies on fins attached to photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, focusing on enhancing their thermal performance and efficiency. The utilization of fins in PV systems is a critical area of research aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of temperature rise on solar panel efficiency. This study reviews various fin geometries, including rectangular, trapezoidal, and triangular fins, and examines their impact on the thermal regulation of PV panels. The review highlights the influence of fin number, thickness, and length on temperature management.
