Hydrogel Solar Panel Cooling System
Sector: Solar • Location: Thailand
Source: The Cool Down
Researchers from the Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) in Thailand have developed a novel hydrogel system that significantly cools solar panels, improving their efficiency. The hydrogel reduces the temperature of solar panels by 23 degrees Celsius, leading to a 12.3% increase in power conversion efficiency compared to conventional solutions.
