This project investigates the thermo-hydraulic performance of a flow-guided air cooling channel for photovoltaic (PV) panels using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The study focuses on the effects of flow-guiding structures on airflow topology, heat transfer enhancement, PV temperature reduction, and pressure drop. The objective is to identify an optimized configuration that improves PV cooling performance while minimizing the associated pressure-drop penalty.
