Development of Solar Cell Module Cooling Device Using Coolant Circulation and Control System

Abstract:

This research has recognized the problems of temperature rise in most solar cell (PV: photovoltaic) modules currently utilized. First, if the temperature rises to 70~80°C, it damages the white-pipe tempered glasses used on the module surface and reduces the module lifespan to a significant extent. Also, if the temperature is risen by 1°C, the modules excluding a thin film module would show efficiency degradation by approx. 0.45~0.55%. To address such problems, if a cooling system is used to lower the average temperature of the PV module, its lifespan and power generation amount increase. In order to maximize the power generation efficiency and cooling device usage by establishing a control system, this research seeks to explore the following goals.
