Systems, methods, and apparatuses for passive radiative cooling for mobile and fixed assets

A method of installing a heat-dissipating system for an object, the heat-dissipating system comprising a plurality of heat-dissipating panels, wherein each of the heat-dissipating panels of the plurality of heat-dissipating panels comprises a front opening, a rear opening, a top face comprising a bottom side, a heat transfer element coupled to the bottom side, a bottom face comprising a top side, at least one airflow opening disposed along the top side, a first edge comprising a first front edge, a first interlocking edge, and a first rear edge, wherein the first front edge is adjacent to the top face, the first rear edge is adjacent to the bottom face, and the first interlocking edge extends outward from an interior space of the heat-dissipating panel beyond at least one of the first front edge or the first rear edge, and a second edge comprising a second front edge, a second interlocking edge, and a second rear edge, wherein the second front edge is adjacent to the top face, the second rear edge is adjacent to the bottom face, and the second interlocking edge extends inward into the interior space of the heat-dissipating panel beyond at least one of the second front edge or the second rear edge, the method comprising:

• assembling an arrangement of the plurality of heat-dissipating panels to cover a surface area of the object, wherein assembling the arrangement of the plurality of heat-dissipating panels involves generating rows of heat-dissipating panels by interlocking a succeeding row of the rows with a preceding row of the rows by coupling the first edge of each heat-dissipating panel of the succeeding row with the second edge of a heat-dissipating panel of the preceding row;
• and
• applying a radiative cooling material to a top surface of each of the plurality of heat-dissipating panels.

A heat-dissipating system comprising:

• a sheet coupled to an object, the sheet comprising:
• a top face exposed to an environment and comprising a radiative cooling material,
• a bottom face exposed to an interior space of the object, and
• a heat transfer element coupled to the bottom face;
• and
• a powered component configured to cause a flow of air over the heat transfer element to transfer heat from the air, through the sheet, and into the environment to cool the air, wherein the heat transfer element comprises a configuration to facilitate the flow of the air into the interior space of the object.
