Multi-level fin heat sinks for solar module cooling

Developed by Malaysian scientists, the proposed multi-level aluminum fin heat sinks (MLFHS) were found able to reduce the module operating temperature by up to 8.45 degrees Celsius and increase power yield by up to 10.75%. The system cost was estimated at $0.60/W. Scientists from the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia […]
