   Solar panels produce immense amounts of waste heat that can be harvested into clean energy.

   Using waste heat from PV panels to generate residential hot water

   Scientists in the United States has developed a new photovoltaic-thermal system design that utilizes parallel water pipes as a cooling system to reduce the operating temperature of photovoltaic panels. The waste heat generated by this process is then used to generate domestic hot water.
