Composite material keeps solar panels cool, boosting longevity by more than 200%

Composite material keeps solar panels cool, boosting longevity by more than 200%

A team of international researchers led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a new composite material made of acrylate that enhances the performance of solar cells. Adhering the composite material to solar cells deployed in Saudi Arabia for weeks significantly raised the power output and longevity while reducing the electricity consumed by the cells. The study can be read in Materials Scienc…

Scientists develop cooling material that makes solar panels last 200% longer

Scientists have created a new material that helps solar panels stay cool and work better—even under harsh sunlight. This breakthrough could make solar energy cheaper and more reliable around the world. The new cooling material was developed by a team of researchers led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia.
