LightCatcher aims to enhance solar energy efficiency by converting waste heat from photovoltaic systems back into electricity while passively cooling the panels. This innovative approach could significantly lower costs and improve the lifespan of solar energy systems.
The optimisation of energy efficiency and the increase of renewable energies in the energy mix are key elements for the clean energy transition to fight global warming.
Solar energy is the most abundant energy source on Earth and solar photovoltaics (PV) is the third most important renewable source in terms of global installed capacity.
But PV energy conversion efficiency is below 20%, while 80% of the sun’s radiation energy is lost in form of waste heat.
Furthermore, the heat excess on PV modul…
