France's Sunbooster has developed a technology to cool down solar modules when their ambient temperature exceeds 25 C. The solution features a set of pipes that spread a thin film of water onto the glass surface of the panels in rooftop PV systems and ground-mounted plants.

Because panels operate at elevated temperatures, some heat radiates downward, but the net balance often remains cooling when panels block direct insolation.
