Cold solar cells.
The economic value of solar panels depends upon their lifespan and power conversion efficiency. University of New South Wales researchers have developed new and improved solar panels that improve the device lifetime by operating at lower temperatures.
Their results are reported in Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pip.3405

Singlet fission and tandem solar cells reduce thermal degradation and enhance lifespan
The operating temperature of PV modules affects the rate of degradation. We show the extent to which module operating temperature can be reduced by increasing the efficiency of the PV module via a ta...
