The invention relates to a photovoltaic evaporative chimney for cooling a photovoltaic panel, using a current of air on the rear thereof, and for dissipating heat from a cooling cycle. The chimney is divided into two main parts. The first section, known as the evaporative zone, comprises a series of nozzles that spray water that flows parallel to the falling ambient air. As the water is falling a small part is evaporated, the remainder being cooled. This section operates as a small-scale cooling tower. The air that was in contact with the water floats up into the so-called convective zone. This second zone is basically a solar chimney in which the air is heated, causing said air to float. In turn the air rising through the convective section cools the photovoltaic panel, increasing the efficiency thereof. Fig. 1
