Abstract

This research’s objective is to study on how to develop an active cooling system using spray water that can increase the efficiency of photovoltaic by referring to the light intensity and temperature based on the experiment with varies condition of irradiance and temperature.The IV characteristic will show the effect on the rising temperature causing a voltage drop on the power and voltage of the solar panel.Therefore,the solar system with the cooling system implement which is to improve the solar panel efficiency,output voltage and power output, the cooling system must be added.This cooling system is using spray water method for cooling the front photovoltaic panel.Water is being used as a good element for cooling and fast cooling.On this research,photovoltaic cell with and without cooling system are implemented to understand and identify the short circuit current and open circuit voltage for comparison as analysis is made to prove the water cooling system that can help to increase the efficiency and output voltage of photovoltaic cell.
