Abstract

Solar system is the most widely used in the world as renewable energy source, even there are many renewable energy source, solar energy source is easy to get in this world. The optimum temperature for PV panel is 25°C. In Malaysia the ambient temperature around us is about 34°C based on the meticulous effort of research. This phenomenon doesn't seem worth it with the high cost invested on PV panel because in Malaysia it's impossible to reach the 25°C. The efficiency of PV panel will decrease when the PV operating temperature increases. The working temperature of the PV panel will be raised as the PV panel receives excess solar radiation. The objective for this project is to improve the efficiency of solar panel by using passive cooling system. Heat sink aluminium and silicone are selected to be the material for cooling system. To analyze the effectiveness of cooling system on PV panel by measuring specific parameter like current, voltage and temperature by using multimeter. The expectation result for this project is PV panel will reach the optimum temperature with heatsink aluminium and silicone as the passive cooling system material for PV panel. Material aluminium and silicone will be compared in term of temperature, voltage and current. This project is very useful for solar industry as it introduced a better improvement to the solar system
