EN This paper proposes a method for evaluating the efficiency of passive cooling systems of solar panels in a type of radiator using CFD simulations. The movement of air through the cooling system and the dependence of the thermal state of the radiator on its shape, wind speed, and ambient temperature were analyzed. A mathematical analysis was made that takes into account the average temperature drop of a solar panel connected to a ribbed heat sink. Experimental measurements of the temperature of the solar panel were performed.
