Solar photovoltaic cooling and power enhancement systems: A review (2025)
Journal Article
Utomo, B., Darkwa, J., Du, D., & Worall, M. (in press). Solar photovoltaic cooling and power enhancement systems: A review. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews,

The development of an efficient photovoltaic system could play a vital role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and the global Net Zero emission target. However, the operation of photovoltaic is reliant on its operating temperatures, causing a... Read More about Solar photovoltaic cooling and power enhancement systems: A review.

Integrated Phase-Change Materials in a Hybrid Windcatcher Ventilation System (2025)
Journal Article
Eso, O., Darkwa, J., & Calautit, J. (2025). Integrated Phase-Change Materials in a Hybrid Windcatcher Ventilation System. Energies, 18(4), Article 848. https://doi.org/10.3390/en18040848

Windcatchers are effective passive ventilation systems, but their inability to actively reduce and stabilize supply air temperatures reduces indoor cooling performance. This study addresses this limitation by integrating encapsulated phase-change mat... Read More about Integrated Phase-Change Materials in a Hybrid Windcatcher Ventilation System.
