MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641068597 A) filed by R. M. K. College Of Engineering And Technology on June 01, 2026, for Temperature Control Of Solar Panels Using Liquefied Silicon Rubber As Panel Cover Sheet.
Inventors include Dr. G. Devi; and M Nivasini.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature control system for photovoltaic panels using a liquefied silicon rubber cover sheet. The cover sheet is positioned over the photovoltaic module and configured to regulate operating temperature while maintaining high optical transparency. The silicon rubber layer absorbs, redistributes, and dissipates excess thermal energy generated by solar radiation, thereby reducing panel temperature and improving conversion efficiency. The system may incorporate thermally conductive nanoparticles, ultraviolet stabilizers, phase change materials, and self-cleaning surface properties. The invention additionally protects photovoltaic modules from dust, moisture, ultraviolet degradation, and environmental contaminants. By minimizing thermal stress and hot spot formation, the system enhances reliability, power output, and service life of solar panels. The cooling mechanism operates passively without requiring external energy, water circulation, or moving components. The invention is suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar energy installations operating under diverse climatic conditions.
