Dual PV module cooling tech based on water, air

Scientists in Hungary have built an experimental rig that uses a 60-W polycrystalline solar panel with 152 holes drilled into its frame for air cooling, as well as high-conductivity copper alloy pipes and fins placed on its back for water cooling. Researchers from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Science and the University of Kufa in Iraq have developed a novel dual-PV module cooling technique based on water and air. For air cooling, it utilizes a perforated frame and a fan; whereas for water cooling, it employs pyramid-shaped fins and a serpentine pipe. The team constructed and ...
