Abstract

This study develops a passive cooling system for photovoltaic (PV) panels using phase change material (PCM) to enhance power output and efficiency. The novelty of this work lies in applying paraffin wax (FRW 42) with a tropical-optimized melting point (42℃) directly encapsulated on the PV back surface, specifically targeting the energy needs of green tourism in Bali. The PV cooling was tested directly in an outdoor area in Bali Selatan, and the results show a temperature reduction from 47.17℃ to 42.49℃, resulting in an increase in output power by 9.83% and efficiency from 17.43% to 22.81%. This indicates the feasibility of PCM integration as a cost-effective and practical thermal management strategy for PV systems in sustainable tourism regions.
