Researchers develop cooling panel combining solar power and waste cooking oil storage

Researchers have designed a system that incorporates PV power generation, thermoelectric cooling, and latent heat storage using waste cooking oil. They have simulated an optimized it using an array of models. Results suggest that a single panel can deliver approximately 6–15 kWh/day of cooling. The…
