Abstract: “Optimized Thermal management Mechanism for Solar PV Panels Using Phase Change Materials and heat sink configurations” 5 The present invention relates to an advanced thermal management system for solar photovoltaic (PV) cells using Phase Change Materials (PCMs) wherein the passive cooling solution integrates PCMs to regulate the operating temperature of PV cells and the PCM absorbs excess heat during peak sunlight hours, undergoing a phase transition to store thermal 10 energy as latent heat. When ambient temperatures drop, the stored heat is released, maintaining an optimal temperature range and preventing thermal stress on the PV cells. The system employs an aluminum heat sink with optimized longitudinal and lateral fin configurations to enhance heat transfer between the PV panel and PCM and the combination of experimental and numerical investigations ensures optimal PCM selection and placement, tailored for 15 various environmental conditions.
