Cooling System for solar
We are excited to introduce a new and
innovative solution to improve the
efficiency of solar panels. By adding a
copper sheet layer and a copper tube
layer to circulate water, we have found a
way to reduce the temperature of solar
panels, leading to increased efficiency
Problem:
Traditional solar panels generate a lot of
heat, which can reduce their efficiency.
This is particularly true in hot climates or
during the summer months when solar
panels are subjected to high temperatures.
As a result, solar panels may not produce
enough power to meet energy demands or
may become damaged due to excessive
heat.
Solution:
Our solution involves adding a copper
sheet layer and a copper tube layer to
solar panels. The copper sheet layer is
installed beneath the solar panel to
allow for heat dissipation, while the
copper tube layer circulates water to
cool the solar panel further. This
method has been shown to be effective more effectively, and the overall
in reducing the temperature of solar
panels and increasing their efficiency.

Implementation
1. Install a copper sheet layer: The
copper sheet layer should be
installed beneath the solar panel to
dissipate heat.
2. Install a copper tube layer: The
copper tube layer should be
installed beneath the copper sheet
layer to circulate water.
3. Connect a pump and plumbing: A
pump and plumbing should be
connected to the copper tube layer
to circulate water.
4. Install temperature sensors:
Temperature sensors should be
installed to monitor the temperature
of the solar panel.
5. Connect a cooling system:cooling
system with metallic fins,copper
tube windings should be connected
to a water flow to cool the water
used for cooling the solar panel
Benefits:
Our solution has been demonstrated to be
effective in reducing the temperature of
solar panels, leading to increased
efficiency. By increasing the efficiency of
solar panels, energy demands can be met
environmental impact of solar energy can
be reduced. In addition, the water used for
cooling can be reused for other purposes,
such as irrigation or landscape watering,
which helps conserve water.
Abstract:
Our solution to improve the efficiency of
solar panels involves the strategic use
of copper in two key areas: a copper
sheet layer and a copper tube layer.
The copper sheet layer is placed under
the solar panels and acts as a heat
exchanger, transferring heat away from
the panels and into the copper, the
copper sheet layer and the copper tube
layer are in direct contact with each
other. This contact allows for efficient
heat transfer from the solar panels to
the water flowing through the copper
tubes
The copper tube layer is placed beneath
the copper sheet layer and circulates
water through the tubes, carrying heat
away from the panels and into a water
storage tank."These storage tank will not
be used always there will will be a water
cutoff system which will send water to the
copper tubes if the water level reduced in
the copper tubes.
The solarpanel is typically controlled by
a thermostat, which monitors the
temperature of the copper sheets in the
solar panel. When the temperature falls
below a certain level, the thermostat
deactivates the circulating pump,
causing it to stop pumping water which
results in saving energy ,eventhough it
will not consume less energy.
