Abstract The growing need for sustainable energy solutions, driven by rising energy shortages, environmental concerns, and the depletion of conventional energy sources, has led to a significant focus on renewable energy. Solar energy, among the various renewable sources, is particularly appealing due to its abundant availability. However, the efficiency of commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) modules is hindered by several factors, notably their conversion efficiency, which averages around 19%. This efficiency can further decline to 10%–16% due to temperature increases during peak sunlight hours. This study investigates the cooling of PV modules by applying water to their… More >
