Sažetak
Siliceous based photovoltaic (PV) technologies are currently the most present ones on the market, with average energy conversion efficiency ranged from about 12% to 17%. Besides the relatively high overall investment cost, as well as a modest increase in efficiency, one of the important problems related to the Si-based PV technologies is its performance degradation caused by elevated PV panel operating temperatures. Thus, in recent years different cooling strategies have been developed in order to reduce the performance drop, i.e. to ensure improvement of the photovoltaic energy conversion efficiency. According to the latest research findings the important benefit of the cooling techniques for PVs is also an increase in the PV pane lifetime. This paper provides an overview and a general analysis of the passive cooling strategies for PVs with respect to the performance increase, i.e. their general effectiveness. The economic aspect of the passive cooling techniques will also be addressed and discussed, with respect to the most viable passive cooling options from the practical point of the view.
