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.
