Cooling PV panels with stagnant water layer

Researchers test solar panel cooling using 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%.From pv magazine Global 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 cool…
