As the efficiency of most PV panels is around 11-15%, this low efficiency paved the way for new research fields that have been conducted to get a better understanding of the PV panels and to propose different techniques to improve their efficiency. The objective of this research is to understanding more about the theory of operation of PV panels and to develop a new technique for improving the efficiency of photovoltaic PV panels. A new technique has been developed to improve the efficiency of PV panels, which is coating the front surface of the PV panel by a fine layer of oil in order to improve the absorptivity of the panel, and consequently its efficiency
