Active cooling system for solar panels with silver nanofluid and water

Solar panel is used to harvest solar energy through the photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. Due to the different intensity of the sun, the panel may be getting overheated during the operation which affect the performance. The research was conducted to analyse the efficiency of liquid immers...
