Abstract

The purpose of this experimental inquiry is to explore the impact that cooling fins made of aluminium have on the efficiency of a solar panel that is working under circumstances of natural convection. In light of the ever-increasing need for energy sources that are not only efficient but also environmentally friendly, it is becoming more vital to enhance the efficiency of solar panels. The experiment used a specific solar panel that was outfitted with aluminium cooling fins that were positioned in a strategic way in order to enhance the effectiveness of natural convection. This was done in order to increase the efficiency of natural processes. In order to determine whether or not cooling fins made of aluminium are beneficial in enhancing the efficiency of solar panels that are operating under natural convection circumstances, the goal of this research is to inquire about their performance. The field is significantly advanced as a result of this kind of study. These results may have implications for the development and use of cooling solutions for solar energy systems. It is conceivable that these discoveries will have significant implications.
