Water-cooled PV that gathers up to 75% of the energy
Hi,
This is pretty neat stuff: they water cool the PV panel, so it keeps a higher efficiency -- and they also then use that heat, too!
...combining it with a water-based cooling system that increases the photovoltaic cells’ efficiency and produces thermal energy to boot.
Somebody had their thinking cap on!
