The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells may be increased by lowering the operating temperature thanks to Photovoltaic Thermal Collector (PVT) technology. Additionally, the working fluid in the collector generates heat energy concurrently with the collected heat. This article uses the CFD method to develop modeling thermal collectors with three different material variations for increased-performance panel photovoltaics. The phenomena of heat transmission are simulated using ANSYS 18.2. The natural convection of the PV cell layer was investigated using ANSYS Steady State-Thermal, and the heat transfer between the PV cell layer and the liquid was simulated using ANSYS Fluent. The overall system efficiency of the energy-generating system was raised by 62.67% by employing a heat collection system to cool PV solar cells. PV solar cells have the maximum electrical efficiency rating when the collector arrangement is modeled using aluminum material and the working fluid in Al2O3 nanofluid at a plate thickness of 0.015 m. For whatever change is used, the efficiency of the produced PV solar cells is not noticeably different.
