An international research team has investigated how air conditioning may be used to reduce the operating temperature of PV panels. The researchers not only found that the proposed approach is technically viable, but they also tested the use of excess heat from the panels for drying dishes.A global team of researchers has developed a system that harnesses the exhaust grill of an air conditioning (AC) system for the cooling of PV panels as well as drying dishes in a dishwasher. The method involves the modification of a PV panel into a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module and can be used for ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
