A research team in India developed a passive solar-panel cooling method using a thin, still layer of seawater placed over the module surface. Tests showed that while a thick water layer sharply reduced energy output, a thin 5 mm layer lowered module temperatures and increased daily energy generation by up to 8.86%.A research team led by the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) has developed a novel solar panel passive evaporative cooling system that utilizes a still seawater layer over a horizontally oriented module. "Complete or partial submersion of PV modules in water for cooling ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
