Cooling System for improving Solar Panels Performance

Cooling System for improving Solar Panels Performance 
     A new passive cooling system, developed in Saudi Arabia, utilizes a hydroscopic composite material to significantly improve solar panel performance.
1)  It cools the panels by 49°F (27°C), boosts their output by 12.9%, and extends their lifespan by over 200%. 

2) This technology works by absorbing moisture from the air at night and releasing it during the day, providing a cooling effect without needing electricity. 
Detailed explanation of the key features:-

1) Passive Cooling:-
    The system relies on natural processes like moisture absorption and release, eliminating the need for fans, pumps, or other electricity-consuming cooling mechanisms. 

2) Hydroscopic Composite Material:-
   The material, composed of lithium chloride and sodium polyacrylate, is designed to absorb moisture from the air at night and release it during the day. 

3) Temperature Reduction:-
     The cooling effect results in a significant temperature drop of approximately 49°F (27°C) compared to uncoated solar panels. 

4) Increased Power Output:-
   The cooler temperature translates to a 12.9% increase in power output from the solar panels. 

5) Extended Lifespan:-
   The passive cooling helps protect the solar panels from heat-related damage, resulting in a lifespan extension of more than 200%. 

6) Cost-Effective and Environmentally Friendly:-
    The materials used are inexpensive, and the manufacturing process avoids harsh chemicals. 

7) Adaptable to Various Climates:-
    The technology's effectiveness has been demonstrated in both hot and humid environments, suggesting its suitability for a wide range of applications.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...
