Abstract

The qualification of cells declines by raising the temperature, that a reduction in electrical output can be observed. To protect module from this influence, cooling ways are needed to be implemented. So, this paper illustrates a test on the cell quality utilizing passive cooling. A study on PV modules performance including heat sink is achieved to demonstrate the influence of warmth on the power production established by the module. It shows that, passive technique declines the hotness of the PV module considerably and the electrical production is enhanced in case of normal convection. Consequently, the qualification of the PV module having heat sink is achieved 0.9~ 3.8% higher than the PV module in the outdoor.
