Design an Economy Cooling System for the Solar Panel

Abstract:

This study was for design an economy cooler for increasing energy conversion efficiency of solar panel. Acrylic plastic was used to be material of the cooler and water was a working fluid in the system. The cost to build the cooler model was around 400 Baht. The results found, using cooling system increased energy conversion efficiency and power generation, especially, water flow rate at 200 ccm. At 200 ccm of water flow rate, it increased 0.52% of energy conversion efficiency and 18.01% of power generation. Thus this flow rate was the best condition for increasing energy conversion efficiency. It might due to this flow rate was not slow and was not that fast to absorb heat from solar panel.
