HIGHER EFFICENCY DUE TO DIRECT WATER COOLING
PV Module temperature & efficiency
Two well established assumptions explain Ocean Sun's increased efficiency:
.
PV module efficiency decreases with higher temperature (~0.4%/°C)
.
Water is a better heat conductor than air
Using Ocean Sun's patented solution1, the operating cell temperature is lowered
through direct heat transfer from the water below, which in turn improves the
efficiency of the solar modules. As the infrared picture shows, modules installed
using Ocean Sun's solution is kept at much lower temperatures
5-10% higher PV cell efficiency and power
generation than other FPV solutions
