Acknowledgement This research is supported by universiti Malaysia Pahang internal grant of RDU 190381    State of  the Art/ Methods     Limitions in current water cooling system Graphical results Findings • Temperature of cooled module decreased significantly in the range of 53.54-56.81%,52.46-52.85%,59.60-53.47% for 10 W,30 W and 250 W of water cooled module respectively at different water volume. • Performance of cooled module increased in the range between 27.42-27.68 %,28.27-29.05% and 33.39-35.32% for 10 W,30 W and 250 W of water cooled module respectively    . Novelty & Benefits • No external energy or external devices such heat exchanger required to the cool the water in close loop system,instead increasing the volume of water in water tank can maintain the temperature of water at acceptable range as well as the cooling capacity of water • More electrical energy is generated in the water cooled PV module • Reduces the temperature of the module instantly Cost analysis  Applicability Economic analysis
