IBM Chip-Cooling Tech in Solar Farms

IBM Chip-Cooling Tech in Solar FarmsIBM Research representatives has announced the way to cool down the heat concentrating photovoltaics. It has been a problem with heat for semiconductors and if they can cool it down then it is a great news.

IBM said that its liquid-metal cooling technique, adapted from high-powered computers' chips, can remove roughly three-quarters of the heat generated by a CPV system.

CPV arrays use lenses and mirrors to magnify light onto solar cells that convert light to electricity. By cramming more light onto cells, the panels can generate more electricity.
