electricity outlet. The cell temperature of an HCPV module impacts its electricaloutput [5, 6]. Thus, HCPV needs a cooling system to maintain the temperature of the solarmodule. The cooling system can keep the temperature between 50°C and 80°C [7, 8], manydifferent kinds of cooling system have been shown in literature in the past[9-11]. Passive andactive cooling systems are two types of general cooling method for HCPV cooling.The passive cooling system uses a metal heat sink to cool down the panel. Many types ofresearch show the ability to use passive heat sink to keep panel efficiently (especially in500suns) [12-19], the passive cooling fin structure can be shown in Figure 3 [19].Figure 3.

"Projects are time consuming but allowed me to apply equations and knowledge from class. Real world connections are made between the course material and everyday life, which helps me understand why the concepts we learn are important and useful. This allows me to feel confident while doing problems and to think through them rather than looking at a solution manual." "Projects were helpful as they were more interesting than book problems.
