Cooling PV modules with lauric acid and nanoparticles

Thai researchers developed three organic phase-change material (PCM) mixtures with nanoparticles to cool PV modules and improve efficiency. They used lauric acid blended with aluminum oxide, copper oxide, and magnesium oxide in an optimal 94:6 weight ratio, boosting module efficiency by up to 14. 11%. Scientists in Thailand have analyzed three organic phase-change material (PCM) mixtures with nanoparticles to cool PV modules and boost efficiency. They used organic fatty acid lauric acid (LA), mixing it with aluminum oxide (Al2O3), copper oxide (CuO), and magnesium oxide (MgO) in an optimal 94:6 ...
