To introduce passive cooling methods, phase change materials (PCM) like wax, various paraffin materials, etc. are widely used for high levels of thermal absorption. This is a kind of substance that can generate a high-temperature difference in the PV panel surface during its phase. . This study utilized the Phase Change Material (PCM) based cooling approach along with Aluminum fins to reduce the temperature of the PV panel. The PV panel surface temperature and efficiency are the target parameters we investigated. In the present work, the effects of various simple cooling methods, including a passive method using phase change materials (PCM) have been investigated for a 50-watt (W) PV module. . Phase change materials (PCMs) are investigated in this study as an option to reduce the surface temperature of the photovoltaic (PV) cell during sunshine hours to enhance the electrical efficiency of the cells.
