Who says that the PV cells have to be immersed in the oil?
If the modules were in the glass box and standing (more or less) upright, the oil coolant could simply be cascaded over the modules. Even if the oil had relatively high photoabsorption compared to water (for example), there would only be a thin film to penetrate.
Any thoughts?
