A semiconductor that is sensitive to the radiation falling on it is one of the materials utilised in the production of solar panels. After a certain temperature, semiconductor materials start to heat up and lose efficiency, and the power output drops too low to be useful. Various cooling solutions are used to solve the high temperature problem. By modelling the equations involved in the dissipation and absorption of heat from the panels, the goal of this work is to analyse the decrease in temperature of the panels that can be produced under various ambient circumstances when using liquid immersion of panels as a cooling approach. By switching the medium's refractive index from air to water, immersion of the panels lowers their direct contact with the heat absorbed from the irradiation.
