• “To design a cooling system for photovoltaic panels that will result in the increase in
efficiency and power output, resulting in a more reliable source of sustainable energy.
This system will be compatible with most vendor designs in the market and will have a
life of at least 6 to 8 years. The environmental factors such as extreme heat of the local
summers will be kept in mind.”
