The rising demand for renewable energy highlights the importance of photovoltaic (PV) systems, yet increasing panel temperature significantly reduces their performance. This study examines the impact of an IoT-based cooling system using a comparative experimental design with three configurations: baseline (no cooling), manual (pump activated every 60 minutes for 5 minutes), and automatic (pump activated at ≥40°C for 5 minutes). The system used copper-pipe cooling, an ESP32, RS485 Modbus, and Blynk monitoring, with outdoor testing from 08:00–16:00. PV data (voltage, current, Pmax) was recorded every 5 minutes. Results show that automatic cooling yields the greatest temperature reduction and enhances daily PV production by 69.19% (≈36.05% gain in clean energy), whereas manual cooling is less efficient due to fixed-interval operation. Thus, IoT-based automatic cooling improves PV thermal stability and performance. Further studies under varied weather conditions are required to confirm long-term reliability.
