Cooling PV panels with stagnant water layer

Researchers have developed a stagnant water layer cooling concept and tested it using seawater, tap water, and desalinated water. The panel temperature decreased by up to 8.2 °C, while power output increased by approximately 28%.An international research team has proposed a novel stagnant water layer cooling technology for solar panels. "This work introduces a simple, low-cost, and innovative method for the immersion cooling of PV modules, ensuring that the junction box and aluminum frame remain isolated from fluid contact," the researchers explained. To evaluate the system's performance, the ...
