The present research is done in some extent and going on to maintain high photovoltaic (PV) efficiency & increased operating PV life by maintaining them at a lower temperature. Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCM) are integrated into PV panels to absorb extra heat by latent heat absorption mechanism & maintain PV temperature. Electrical & thermal energy efficiency analysis of PV-PCM systems is conducted to calculate their effectiveness in two different climates and conditions. Finally costs incurred due to inclusion of PCM into PV system & the resulting changes are discussed in this paper. The results show that such systems are financially viable in higher temperature & higher solar radiation environment. An operating temperature is important parameter of solar panel. As temperature of solar panel is increased ,efficiency of solar panel decreases. That means that the operating temperature of PV panel is minimum then maximum efficiency of solar panel maximum is obtained. Different methods are used for solar panel first we have used to Cooling Technique.
