3. INTRODUCTION
As we all know solar energy is the one of the energy that’s widely available except
for some frigid zones
But the same energy production is causing death of several birds
From a study in farms from california it is said that
it is warmer in temperature by 3`c than a parking lot
which depicts the contribution of this farms to global
warming

4. Seen in DRYLANDS
• Evaporation pattern is different
Waxy leaves
INTRODUCTION OF GHOST PLANT

5. SOLAR PANEL
Should be kept at an angle of 30`
Temperature needed to maintain at 25`c to max output
SOAKER HOSE
A pipe with holes
COMPONENTS OF THE STRUCTURE

6. As shown in the image water is
passed through the soaker hose
by use of a pump from one end
and the other end is free and is
placed back into the tank/reservoir
BIOMIMICKING OF GHOST PLANT

7. When water flows through the soaker hose due to pressure water
tends to flow out through the pipe this can lead to contact of the
water with solar panel and
Significantly reducing the
temperature of solar panel

8. Without cooling 45`c was the average temperature of the solar panel ,
significantly during cooling 36`c was the average temperature causing a 14.44%
to 16.05% increase in efficiency
Can avoid the high heat produced from this panels
This also can reduce the death of avian creatures when applied in long scale
ADVANTAGES

9. We could understand that:
Biomimicking ghost plants and applying it in this study could
1 Decrease the death rate of avian creatures
2 Decrease the contribution to global warming
3 Considering other cooling system we could save more water
