hello !
my model is rectangular PV panel(6 mm thickness) with embedded duct of height 30cm .
I used conjugate heat transfer to compute the temperature of PV
how can I mesh this component in right way with PV of small thickness , and can I used to 2d it is time consuming using 3d, or 2d just used with specific case .
best regard ,

Hello Hussein,
Thin structures lend themselves well to "sweep meshing". This technique is documented and illustrated by a step-by-step example in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual, version 5.2a, in Chapter 8. All manuals are accessible through the File>Help>Documentation menu.
As to whether you should go with a 2D model instead of 3D, that is of a matter of engineering judgement and will require knowledge of your system and modeling goals.
Best regards,
Jeff
