Solar energy in buildings
The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive will speed up the uptake of solar photovoltaics and solar thermal – both on residential and non-residential buildings - and increase the possibilities
The current study investigates the effect of water spray cooling on the performance of a photovoltaic panel (PV). The advantage of this method compared to other methods is it provides surface cleaning besides the cooling effects which affects the long-term performance of the panel.
In this method, water is sprayed on the front or back of the panel surface, or both at the same time. Parameters such as water flow rate, number of nozzles, spraying height, and formation of water film are important. By spraying the water onto a photovoltaic panel, the operating temperature can effectively regulate through cooling.
One of the effective methods of cooling is using water spray on photovoltaic panels. In this method, water is sprayed on the front or back of the panel surface, or both at the same time. Parameters such as water flow rate, number of nozzles, spraying height, and formation of water film are important.
Since the electrical power is highly dependent on the intensity of the solar radiation, each water spraying method is investigated at constant intensities. Figure 14 shows the electrical performance of the panel to the temperature of the cooled surface at different solar radiation intensities.
