EXPERIMENTAL SETUP TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF SOLAR PANEL BY USING THE WATER CIRCULATION

Brijesh M. Garala, Abhishek G. Makati

Abstract :

<p>Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy. It potential is 178 million MW per year. This is about 20,000 times worlds demand. In the case of the developing countries the energy sector assumes a critical importance in view of the increasing energy needs requiring huge investments of meet them. In this paper, experimental setup is being carried out to improve thermal efficiency and reduce the rate of thermal degradation of a solar panel module is by reducing the operating temperature of its surface is discussed. This can be achieved by cooling the module and reducing the heat stored inside the panel.</p>
