The purpose of the present work is to develop a simple passive
automatic cooling and cleaning system with stream of water for PV modules without employing pump or blower. A solenoid valve is used to control the flow of water (on/off) on the PV module to achieve the following objectives: (i) reduction of the module temperature (ii) automatic cleaning of the module from the dust and solid particles accumulation, especially in dusty areas (iii) control-ling the quantity of used water to be at minimum (iv) maintaining uniform temperature across the module. Comparison of the thermal and electrical performance of the module being subjected to cooling and cleaning against that of a module without cooling and cleaning is also presented.
