Spray Cooling Could Give Floating Solar Arrays a Climate-Tuned Efficiency Lift
Key Takeaways
- German researchers built a dynamic model for spray cooling in floating PV systems.
- The model was validated against a 750 kW installation with four pump-sprinkler units.
- Simulations showed temperature cuts of up to 42% and energy-yield gains of up to 3.8%.
- The study found that local climate strongly determines whether spray cooling pays off.
