The world’s temperature continues to rise and many are turning to their air conditioning system for relief. When more air conditioning systems are turned on, it causes the world’s temperature to hike up even more. This cycle goes on and on with no solution in sight. Not until the introduction of solar powered systems for residential use. Many of the locals are talking to companies supplying Gold Coast solar panel to know more about the benefits of using solar panels and how they can ease up the negative effect they are contributing to the environment.
Now a new technology was developed by scientists from China as well as the United States to address these issues. The technology is a form of solar panel innovation that has the capacity to collect the light that is coming from the sun which will then be converted to electricity. This is the same function performed by conventional solar panels but this new innovation has additional features – it can send back to space the excess heat of the sun which prevents the house from absorbing it.
According to Shanhui Fan, the senior author of the latest research who also happens to be an electrical engineer, they are proud to be able to create a device that will one day help in saving as well as creating energy. This is made possible by the device’s capacity to control the two aspects of light.
The principle used in the device is referred to as radiative cooling wherein the any object, such as structures and even human body, can give out heat through infrared light. During this process the object losses its heat because of thermal radiation. This might be the perfect solution to the Earth’s heating problem but sadly it is not a perfect system because the reflected heat is not guaranteed to pass to space 100 per cent which means that it stays suspended in the atmosphere.
While there are traditional options such as Gold Coast solar panel, this new innovation is not your everyday technology because if merged the conventional solar panel with radiative cooling device.
