  • Abstract
    The photovoltaic (PV) module efficiency conversion is affected by environmental changes, particularly by variations in temperature and radiation. There are several devices and techniques that allow a minimization of those effects and changes, by keeping the efficiency conversion at its highest level. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and PV cooling systems can provide that. In this paper, it is proposed an association of those systems, with the intent of achieving an even greater efficiency conversion level. Also, as a suggestion for future works in this area, a generic model of a system that allows that combination is proposed and simulated.
