Abstract: A photovoltaic cooling system includes a cooling module having a local jet flow inlet located in an interior portion of the cooling module directing flow in a vertical direction. A crossflow inlet is located at an inlet edge of the cooling module directing flow across the cooling module. An outlet is located at an outlet edge of the cooling module. A thermoelectric generator is located on the cooling module, and a photovoltaic module is located on the thermoelectric generator.

Abstract: A clean water production system includes a photovoltaic panel and a first membrane distillation system having a first evaporation layer, first porous hydrophobic layer and first condensation layer. The first membrane distillation system is located under the photovoltaic panel. A second membrane distillation system has a second evaporation layer, second porous hydrophobic layer and second condensation layer. The second membrane distillation system is located under the first membrane distillation system. A thermoelectric generator is located under the second membrane distillation system converting heat to electricity.
