Abstract

Photovoltaic Cooling

In article number e202500913, Chirodeep Bakli and co-workers develop a passive photovoltaic cooling strategy based on perforated hydrogels that leverages daytime evaporative heat dissipation and nighttime atmospheric moisture regeneration. A reduction up to 14.5 °C in module temperatures leading to ~25 % increase in power output is observed with commercial solar modules. This self-regenerating, energy-neutral approach offers a scalable and retrofittable solution for improving photovoltaic performance in high-insolation environments.

期刊介绍： Solar RRL, formerly known as Rapid Research Letters, has evolved to embrace a broader and more encompassing format. We publish Research Articles and Reviews covering all facets of solar energy conversion. This includes, but is not limited to, photovoltaics and solar cells (both established and emerging systems), as well as the development, characterization, and optimization of materials and devices. Additionally, we cover topics such as photovoltaic modules and systems, their installation and deployment, photocatalysis, solar fuels, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion, energy distribution, grid issues, and other relevant aspects. Join us in exploring the latest advancements in solar energy conversion research.
