Most people associate renewable energy with solar and wind power. While hydropower and geothermal are good carbon-free renewable energy sources, wind and solar are the only realistic options for large-scale renewable energy. Wind and solar are free and abundant, and…
PNU researchers have shown how radiative coolers may lower the thermal stress on photovoltaic cells
The power conversion efficiency of a multi-junction solar cell was improved by incorporating a radiative cooler, as shown by researchers at Pusan National University in South Korea. When exposed to the sun's rays for long periods of time, solar cells…
