The vortex generators can include one or more winglets attached along an upstream edge portion of the PV module, locally modifying airflow at a front PV module surface by inducing turbulence from the oncoming flow and increasing local convective heat transfer.

The PV module cooling assembly is capable of improving surface cooling more than 50% compared to PV modules without flow alteration.
