Effect of Water Cooling and Dust Removal on Solar Photovoltaic Module Efficiency

This paper is on the effect of water cooling and debris removal solar photovoltaic module efficiency. Photovoltaic power generation suffers from low energy conversion efficiency, mainly caused by module's extraordinarily high operating surface temperatures dust collection. project aims to show how these issues affect performance overcome them. The first objective examine temperature affects modules, second focuses deposition surfaces. was water-cooled using a prototype with built-in motor pump that operated cool clean module. Water-cooled modules are then compared conventional (no modification). For build-up investigation, traditional covered opaque sheets varying sizes simulate coating surface. output (zero coverage). According findings, it takes only five weeks lose 20% its efficiency once has been installed. research found had when relatively high. increase in can be attributed production heat due being exposed intense sunlight.
