Thermal Analysis of Solar Panel with Proposed Cost-effective Solution to Increase Efficiency

Solar panel heating is a big problem in most of the regions where solar light heats the solar panel and decreases the efficiency of the panel. The research article proposes a novel approach to increase the efficiency of the solar panel by utilizing any method mentioned in the literature survey. The device which is proposed utilizes the same system but in an optimized way. The optimization of the utilization of a solar panel cooling system is necessary to take maximum power from the solar panel. The device proposed can successfully optimize the utilization of the cooling system and increase the efficiency of the panel. Also, this device increases the efficiency of the cooling device so that it can cool the panel efficiently. The temperature of the solar panel is analyzed by thermal imaging camera and thermal image analysis. The thermal image camera is mounted through a servo motor which rotates at a 360o angle and monitors the temperature of the solar panel.
