This paper described a detailed study of the literature review, focused on the use of a Phase Change Materials (PCM) for photovoltaic (PV)system, electrical efficiency and thermal regulation improvement. The different PV cooling methods have been discussed and then, the present investigation carried out in the phase change material. There are different types of PCM studied such as paraffin, stearic acid, cobalt sulphate Hypthydrate, yellow petroleum jelly etc. the result shows that organic paraffin has a better performance 9.07% compared with other PCMs
