The researchers found that the amount of gel they needed depended primarily on the environment s.
How to cool down solar panels.
While cooler solar cells operate more efficiently than hot ones keeping their temperature low without.
The idea is simple.
The evaporating water would cool the solar panel as sweat evaporating from the skin cools us down.
Installing solar panels will block this sunlight from hitting your roof thereby preventing heat from entering your house.
Increasing the efficiency of photovoltaics is a primary goal in solar cell technology.
For example a desert environment that has about 35 humidity would only require 1 kilogram of gel to cool down a 1 square meter panel.
When sunlight hits your house it warms your roof and pushes heat into your home.
