Efficiency is the cornerstone of effective solar energy systems. At Solar Trigeneration Systems Inc., we’ve taken solar panel technology to the next level with innovative cooling solutions that optimize performance, maximize output, and reduce long-term costs.
Why Efficiency Matters in Solar Energy
Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into energy, but high temperatures reduce their efficiency. For every 1°C increase in temperature, panel efficiency drops by approximately 0.5%. This means panels in hot climates can lose significant output during peak sunlight hours.
Chilly’s Cooling Technology: A Game-Changer
Our patented cooling system combats this issue by maintaining an optimal operating temperature for solar panels:
- Ground-Based Cooling: Heat is transferred from panels to the ground using a mini-channel heat exchanger and a low-power water pump.
- Closed-Loop System: Ensures no water wastage while keeping panels consistently cool.
- Boosted Output: Increases energy generation by 10-15%, ensuring panels perform at their best even in hot climates.
The Impact of Increased Efficiency
For a nominal 10MW solar farm:
- Non-Cooled Panels: 7.5-9MW output.
- Cooled Panels: Up to 9.6MW output.
- This improvement translates to an additional $100,000-$250,000 annually for operators, based on average energy prices.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
Our cooling system not only boosts efficiency but also reduces environmental impact:
- Lower Emissions: Each trigeneration system prevents up to 18 tons of CO₂ annually.
- Longer Panel Lifespan: Reducing overheating minimizes wear and tear, extending panel durability.
