This review offers an overview of key developments that may assist researchers in improving thermal management strategies for photovoltaic systems across different environmental conditions. It's worth noting that temperature significantly affects the efficiency of photovoltaic systems. As operating temperatures rise, energy production decreases, impacting the system's lifetime. The main focus of this research paper, which examines recent developments in thermal management technologies for photovoltaic systems, is the use of fin-based cooling technologies. he efficiency of passive, active, and hybrid cooling technologies was evaluated, focusing on their ability to dissipate heat and increase the efficiency of photovoltaic panels by expanding the heat dissipation surface area. Metal foam fins and heatsinks improve heat transfer. Key findings from numerical simulations and experimental studies are summarized, including the impact of fin design, material selection, and environmental factors on cooling performance. For instance, trapezoidal fins, cylindrical pin fins, and foam-based configurations demonstrate notable temperature reductions and efficiency improvements in various setups. Additionally, the research identifies challenges such as optimal fin spacing, material durability, and cost-effectiveness.
