To put it a different way, a typical one - story, single - family house with just 10 percent of its roof covered by
radiative cooling panels could offset 35 percent its entire air conditioning needs during the hottest hours of the summer.
That means Fan's
radiative cooling panels could theoretically be substituted on rooftops where existing solar panels feed electricity to air conditioning systems needed to cool the building.
Not exact matches
It should be noted that the
panel on the right listed as non
radiative atmosphere only shows what would happen shortly after
radiative cooling was «switched off».
One might even envision a system in which collector
panels similar to trickle style swimming pool
panel are glazed during the winter for efficient heat collection (like a Thomason trickle collector), and then the glazing
panels are removed in the summer to provide efficient evapro -
radiative cooling in the summer.
