Cheap and simple radiative cooling technologies can significantly increase the performance and lifespan of concentrated photovoltaic systems, according to researchers in the US. They found that a ...

Malaysian researchers have proposed a new passive technology for solar module cooling based on fin heat sinks. The tech ensures lower PV system payback times and reduces operating module temperatures ...

Passive cooling, like the shade a tree provides, has been around forever. Recently, researchers have been exploring how to turbo charge a passive cooling technique — known as radiative or sky cooling ...

Air conditioning is increasingly the go-to when heat waves strike. However, not only does this lead to more emissions, it ...

Renewable energy enthusiasts now have reason to celebrate: EVAPCO offers a solar-powered evaporative cooling tower. The SUN cooling tower, available in two sizes — 241 and 383 nominal tons — is paired ...

This double-action design promises more than twice as much energy as a standard solar updraft tower. As its name suggests, the TTSS combines two tower-style technologies into a single design: a solar ...

Saudi scientists have tested several cooling technologies for solar panels and have found that active techniques work better than passive ones under harsh climatic conditions. The most effective one ...

Moisture harvested from the atmosphere at night by a hydrogel can be used to cool down solar panels during the day, boosting their efficiency. So say researchers at the King Abdullah University of ...

Scientists at the University of Sharjah have secured a U.S. patent (US12341471B2) for an innovative cooling system designed to enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The ...

Too much sun and too much heat can reduce the efficiency of photovoltaics. A solar farm with optimally spaced panels facing the correct direction could cool itself through convection using the ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. In the summer, both air conditioning (AC) demand and solar energy generation are at their peak — so what happens when you pair the two? “Any electrical ...

A new study describes a new technology that provides both radiative cooling and solar heating, all is one system and without using electricity or fuel. It could help impoverished communities, reduce ...
