Reducing PV module temperature with beeswax, paraffin wax

Scientists in Iraq have applied two different kinds of phase-change materials to lower the operating temperatures of PV panels. Their experiment showed that beeswax and paraffin wax are particularly effective in achieving this goal, even when they are combined together.Researchers from the Northern Technical University and AlNoor University in Iraq have investigated the ability of phase-change materials (PCM) to cool PV panels in extremely hot temperatures. PCMs are substances that can absorb and release heat energy during phase transitions. The PCMs used in this study were natural beeswax, paraffin ...
