This paper proposes a method for evaluating the efficiency of passive cooling systems of solar panels in a type of radiator using CFD sim ulations. The movement of air through the cooling system and the dependence of the thermal state of the radiator on its shape, wind speed, and ambient temperature were analyzed. A mathematical analysis was made that takes into account the average temperature drop of a solar panel con nected to a ribbed heat sink. Experimental measurements of the temperature of the solar panel were performed.

W artykule zaproponowano metodę oceny wydajności pasywnych układów chłodzenia paneli fotowoltaicznych bazujących na radiato rach z wykorzystaniem symulacji CFD. Przeanalizowano ruch powietrza w układzie chłodzącym oraz zależność temperatury radiatora od jego kształtu, prędkości wiatru i temperatury otoczenia. Przeprowadzono analizę matematyczną uwzględniającą spadek średniej temperatury panelu fo towoltaicznego połączonego z żebrowym radiatorem. Wykonano eksperymentalne pomiary temperatury panelu fotowoltaicznego.
