PV module cooling tech based on water chamber

A group of scientists at the University of Malta has developed an after-market photovoltaic module cooling system that utilizes a water chamber that can be placed into a gap at the back of standard modules.

“The Innovative Photovoltaic Cooling System (IPCoSy) has already been patented,” the research’s corresponding author, Luciano Mulè Stagno, told pv magazine. “This invention can be advantageous for offshore or floating photovoltaic installations, due to unlimited water resources, and can also benefit both residential and industrial sectors, which aim to install photovoltaic modules and operate them at an increased efficiency.”
