Photovoltaic panel immersion water test

The experimental setup consists of a polycrystalline PV panel of 100 Wp and an acrylic tank of 1800 mm × 830 mm × 260 mm. The heat transfer fluid (HTF) is tap water. The temperature of PV panel and water is measured using K-type thermocouples. A pulse width modulator-based (PWM) controller supports the trickle charge.

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel immersion water test]

What is the efficiency of PV panels based on water immersion?

The panel efficiency with an immersion depth of 10, 20, 30, and 40 mm is approximately 15.02%, 15.54%, 14.58%, and 13.95%, respectively. The results show that the immersion of PV panels in tap water 20 mm increases the PV efficiency by 9.1% compared to the PV without water immersion.

Does water immersion improve PV performance without external power?

The results show that the immersion of PV panels in tap water 20 mm increases the PV efficiency by 9.1% compared to the PV without water immersion. The presented experimental results are beneficial to the solar community to improve the PV performance without external power.

How does water immersion affect PV panels?

PV panel surface temperature increases, and the PV panel’s efficiency decreases due to thermal conduction. Water immersion is one way of cooling PV panels, but the proper depth of immersion is required to trade off the solar radiation and PV efficiency. More immersion depth leads to the loss of incoming radiation and transmissivity losses.

Does water immersion cooling improve photovoltaic panel performance?

Thus, a photovoltaic panel has a negative temperature coefficient that increases the current but drops the voltage potential. In this work, water immersion cooling of the photovoltaic panel is studied to improve panel performance. The module is studied with and without water immersion in a tank made up of acrylic material.

How to test a solar panel without water immersion?

The solar radiation and electrical output parameters are calculated using a pyranometer and multimeter during testing. The HTF water is filled in the acrylic tank once the PV panel is tested without water immersion. The PV panel is placed in the acrylic tank without water and tested outdoor for 4 days.

What is the maximum power of a PV panel without water immersion?

Maximum power of the PV panel without water immersion and with water immersion at a depth of 10, 20, 30, and 40 mm The maximum PV efficiency is attained about 15.54% at a depth of 20 mm, decreasing when immersion depth is increased, as shown in Fig. 7.
