Abstract:
The total solar energy that falls on the photovoltaic (PV) module is partly converted into electricity, while a greater part is spent on temperature increase of the PV module. PV module efficiency drops with the rise in temperature, with a magnitude of approximately 0.5 %/°C. The aim of this paper is to experimentally determine the PV module output power changes during the cooling process with alcohol. In the experiment, PV modules were positioned one beside the other, and the front surface of the module was cooled with 96% ethyl alcohol. Alcohol was chosen for its innate aptitude in the process of evaporation. Presented measurement data are for the period between 10:45 and 11:05, which corresponds to solar noon and the time of maximum solar irradiation intensity. After all cycles of active cooling, the temperature of the back side of the cooled PV module was 36.8 °C, while the temperature of the uncooled module was 59.4 °C. The biggest difference in power between the cooled and uncooled module was 4.9%. On average, the efficiency of the PV module increased by 3.2%.
