This article presents the results of a computational study of the thermal and physical parameters of an autonomous photovoltaic-thermal device. The device is based on a mobile solar energy system and consists of two main components: a photovoltaic (PV) panel and a cooling system. Increasing panel temperature reduces its photovoltaic efficiency, so a closed-loop liquid cooling system was implemented. Thermal processes—conduction, convection, and radiation—were modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The obtained results allowed us to determine the temperature distribution across the panel surface, changes in liquid velocity, and radiator efficiency over the course of a day.
