Abstract
Solar photovoltaic (PV) system has drawn the tremendous attention of researchers and governments in the past recent years. However, operating temperature of PV has major role to its efficiency and lifetime. This paper reported an experiment of aluminum heat sink as a cooling device to reduce the operating temperature and to improve the performance of PV panels. The performance of PV panels with and without aluminum heat sink were compared. Result showed that solid heat sink increased the average power output by 3.14 W and efficiency by 1.61%. Modification by perforating the fins increased the average output power by 1.79 W and efficiency by 0.60% compared to the solid heat sink. This cooling method was an effective and potential to be applied on commercial PV panels.
