Researchers in the Netherlands and Singapore have measured irradiance-weighted average temperatures of floating PV systems in both countries and have compared the results with reference rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems. They have discovered that floating PV systems with open structures, which allow wind to pass beneath the modules, can provide a higher heat loss coefficient.The cooling effect of water in floating PV systems can be increased in tropical and temperate maritime climates if a proper system design allows for more wind to flow between the modules and the water surface. This is ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
