A British-Egyptian research group has tested the use of hydrogels beads for PV module cooling. The micro-sized particles were saturated with aluminium oxide (Al2O3) water-based nanofluids and placed ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — 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 ...

Researchers from the University of Baghdad and the University of Garmian, in Iraq, and Brunel University London, in the United Kingdom, have proposed to use multiple phase-change materials (PCMs) for ...

Breakthroughs in solar panel cooling tech will help keep NASA’s Parker Solar Probe operating at peak performance — even while flying through the sun’s corona As NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. In the summer, both air conditioning demand and solar energy generation are at their peak — so what happens when you pair the two? As Gavin Harper, a ...

Heating and cooling buildings is a major consumer of energy, especially older ones that weren’t built with modern energy efficiencies in mind. Now, engineers at Fraunhofer Institute have developed a ...

The cooling technology has registered a higher power output of a solar cell by 12.9%. Image: Markus Spiske via Unsplash. International researchers led by a team from the King Abdullah University of ...

A couple of years ago we heard about the MOlecular Solar Thermal (MOST) system, in which solar energy is stored in a liquid medium, then later released as heat. Now, the technology has been applied to ...

Deflecting the sun to fight climate change could trigger droughts and hurricanes, the Royal Society has warned.

It turns out that solar panels can do more than provide you with renewable energy – they can significantly cut down the power needed to heat and cool your building as well. In a study recently ...
