Cornell University researchers have developed a low-cost method to extend the lifespan and improve the efficiency of commercial solar panels. Their approach uses phase-change materials (PCM) to lower the operating temperature of the panels. The research is aimed at increasing energy efficiency by managing panel temperatures more effectively. Further details about the study can be found on the Cornell University website under Research.
