Abstract. The process of air-cooling is extremely significant in performance improvement of photovoltaic systems. When the sun shines on solar panels the panel heats up and consequently, the quantity of electricity that they generate is low as well as their overall efficiency. This paper discusses the different airflow-based cooling techniques, which are forced-air venting, passive convection channels, and thermally-conductive arrays of fins to minimize heat buildup and improve performance in modules. The study also establishes the performance of various purification methods (e.g., normal cleaning, anti-dust coatings, air-filtration systems) to water down the maximum usage of light efficiency of panels (i.e., to prevent the heat of surface contaminants) in their ability to improve panel efficiency. The objective is to determine the possible mixture between cooling and purification to provide the greatest returns when measured in terms of energy generation and stability in operation.
