Scientists in Hong Kong have developed a patch that effectively cools down PV panels and uses waste heat for the production of freshwater. It has three layers: an atmospheric water harvest, a thermal regulation layer and a glue layer. Maximum power density is reportedly increased by more than 28% in a folded version of the ultra -cooling patch. August 27, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong has developed an Ultra-Cooling patch (UCP) that effectively cools PV panels and uses waste heat for the production of freshwater. According to the developers, the…
