Operating temperature is the main variable impacting the PV panel's efficiency. When light rays hit the PV pane plate, a specific region of this spectrum is converted into electrical power, while the remainder of the spectrum increases the temperature of the cell. The temperature of the cell rises by about 75 to 80 percent of the light that strikes the screen. The cell temperature has been lowered by using a variety of approaches. The use of various nanofluids to cool PV panels by circulating inside the tubes fastened to the panel's back is highlighted in this research. The numerical model for nanofluid heat transfer was used to simulate the outcomes for the temperature of the PV Panel as a result of using various nanofluids. Water, Al2O3, CuO, TiO2, and ethylene glycol are the nanofluids used to lower the temperature.
