Cover Story: Solar power is an effective way to reduce your carbon footprint as there is nothing about it that pollutes mother nature. Solar power does not release any greenhouse gasses and, apart from the fact that it requires a source of clean water to function, it uses absolutely no other resources. This being the case, it is safe and environmentally friendly. In this present work an ultrasonic humidifier with a heat sink with aluminum fins is used as a cooling technique to cool solar panels. The results in the temperature of a cooled panel to be reduced by 14.91 °C and its electrical efficiency to be increased by 6.8%. Additionally, approximately 1.5L of water is consumed from 9:00 to 17:00 and an average power of 12.23W is produced by the cooled panel, compared to 10.87W by the referenced panel. Moreover, the levelized cost of energy (LCE) for an annual period was 0.210$/kWh. View this paper
