Abstract

The use of solar energy systems among renewable energy sources is gaining importance day by day. Photovoltaic systems have a special importance among solar energy systems. Although the incident light flux increases the electrical energy produced in the solar panels, the increase in temperature caused by the radiation reduces the efficiency of the solar panels. Important methods are being studied in order to increase this falling efficiency. Dynamic cooling systems are one of the important methods used in this field. In this study, a dynamic cooling mechanism was designed and developed for a double-faced photovoltaic power generation system. From this point, it was concluded that temperature is one of the important factors affecting the efficiency of solar panels.
