Fins

Add fins to the rear of photovoltaic panels

Regular aluminum fins have been added in various configurations to the back surface of a PV panel in order to reduce the PV surface temperature and improve the output power. The experimental set-up consists of four photovoltaic panels. . This study examines photovoltaic cooling using fins arranged at the bottom of the panel with geometric shape configurations and fin arrangement models. In this study, we compare the geometric shapes of triangular and rectangular, as well as the arrangement of fins slopes of 0, 45°, and perforated. . 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.
