description Many aspects relating to thermal, economic, and reliability challenges are involved while designing a Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) system under high performance. When compared to standard PV systems, PV/T systems are more effective in locations with high irradiance. To eliminate the excess heat from a PVT system, an optimal cooling system is necessary, resulting in improved the temperature of PV module which directly effect on the overall performance. The current study is focused on a new economic and essay construction thin and thick (3 mm and 15 mm) cooling cross-fined channel box that have covered modeled. In terms of cell temperature and output cooling water temperature, the effects of various irradiation levels and cooling water flow rates are examined. Software that is based on finite elements, the problem was solved numerically in a three-dimensional model using ANSYS (19.2). It has been discovered that when the cooling fluid flow rate increases, the average surface temperature distribution of PV/T system and outlet cooling water temperature are reduced for thin and thick box heat exchanger and ideal with a cooling fluid flow rate of 3 L/min. The average surface temperature and water-cooling temperature are 30.7 °C and 38.9 °C for thin box heat exchanger, respectively, whereas for thick box heat exchanger are 30.8 °C and 32.4 °C, respectively, under solar irradiance 1000 W/m2 and optimal flow rate.
