The cooling mode doesn''t collect any water, but it can increase the electrical output of a solar panel by roughly 10 percent. In crop production mode, the hydrogel is exposed to the air at night
As a result, the previously absorbed water evaporates up from the hydrogel layer and condenses on the back of the panel. As liquid water flows out of the battery, it carries away excess heat and provides a cooling effect, making the solar cell up to 9% more efficient. The water then flows to the bottom of the metal can and to the faucet.
