Optimization of a Peltier influence cooling system for photovoltaic cells

Temperature rise is one of the most crucial challenges for sun-concentrating photovoltaic systems, since it affects cell performance and promotes cell breakdown. To solve this issue, a novel cooling technique based on the Peltier effect is devised and studied.To cool the PV cell, a Peltier module is placed beneath it in this setup. These measures are combined to generate a hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) module that uses both the photovoltaic and Peltier effects.When the Peltier module is turned on, the cell returns to normal functioning at ambient temperature, with a maximum power of 2.0488W.
