| Summary: | This research investigates the integration of a thermoelectric-enhanced cooling elliptic duct into a photovoltaic solar system. Employing the finite volume method, the simulation aims to analyze the system's performance. Furthermore, the introduction of a magnetic field is explored as a strategy to boost electricity generation and overall system efficiency. The study is driven by the pursuit of enhanced energy conversion and a thorough comprehension of the complex dynamics within solar energy configurations. The nanofluid laminar flow within elliptic duct has been affected by magnetic force and better cooling has been achieved. Impacts of Wdust (amount of dust), Vi (inlet velocity into elliptic tube), Ha (Hartmann) and φ (fraction of additives) on thermal (ηth) and electrical (ηe) performance have been discussed in output section. With deposit of dust, ηth and ηe decrease about 9.07 % and 23.5 %. With rise of Ha, the uniformity of temperature over silicon layer improves and amounts of ηe and ηth increase about 1.18 % and 6.85 %.With mixing water with nanoparticles, the performance of panel enhances and positive effect enhances about 65.73 % and 7.35 % with elevate of Vi, in view of ηe and ηth, respectively. The enhancement of ηe and ηth with rise of Ha improves about 80.81 % and 15.1 % for greater Vi. As Vi intensifies, the better cooling occurs and amounts of ηe and ηth enhances about 4.03 % and 30.26 %. Achieving a uniform temperature distribution across the panel is crucial for assessing its performance. Increasing Vi and Ha leads to a substantial improvement in uniformity, with enhancements of approximately 47.35 % and 4.66 %, respectively. This indicates a more balanced heat distribution, which is a positive indicator of the system's efficiency.
