Abstract
Solar harvesting and radiative cooling offer promising approaches to building energy management, yet they typically compete for the same limited surface area. This preview highlights a hybrid passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC)-solar system that achieves effective thermal decoupling, enabling the co-harvesting of solar energy and the coldness of outer space within a single footprint.
Solar harvesting and radiative cooling offer promising approaches to building energy management, yet they typically compete for the same limited surface area. This preview highlights a hybrid passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC)-solar system that achieves effective thermal decoupling, enabling the co-harvesting of solar energy and the coldness of outer space within a single footprint.
