Self-cooling photovoltaic cells for increased efficiency

Photorealistic cells need to be cooled to ensure that the two factors are performance and longevity. However, active cooling methods are not very feasible, often expensive and block out sun rays. projected into cells . To solve this problem, scientists from Standord University created a new kind of self-cooled solar cell.

The researchers placed a pyramid shaped cone on the surface of the photovoltaic cell, so that infrared beams would be reflected backward while the light was still absorbed by photocurrent cells. collect and generate energy.

As a result, photovoltaic panels are optimized to produce more electricity, but they are not cooked to death - and according to scientists, they are almost at an ideal level.

Although the team still has a lot to do with the actual testing, they are also preparing for commercial products.
