Abstract
A water producing system for a photovoltaic panel may include a moisture collection layer, a liquid transfer mat, and a moisture collection substrate. The moisture collection layer may collect moisture from condensation and direct moisture away from the photovoltaic panel. The liquid transfer mat may include a plurality of tubes through which a chilled heat transfer liquid passes. The moisture collection substrate may include a thermally conductive material. The chilled heat transfer liquid within the liquid transfer mat may absorb heat from the photovoltaic panel and from ambient air through the moisture collection substrate, thereby reducing a temperature of the photovoltaic panel and condensing water on the moisture collection substrate to produce water.
