To resolve these drawbacks and harness thermal power, photovoltaic thermal modules (PVT) are introduced. These systems, which combine the advantages of both PV and ST modules, generate more electrical power than a standalone PV panel and produce thermal power.
This huge share of solar energy absorbed by PV cells increases their temperature, leading to a decline in cells' electrical efficiency and lifetime [ 2 ]. To resolve these drawbacks and harness thermal power, photovoltaic thermal modules (PVT) are introduced.
Solar thermal collectors (ST) are particularly attractive options for converting sunlight into heat, offering a wide range of applications spanning from small-scale household heating, cooling, and water heating to large-scale industrial processes and power generation.
The photovoltaic-thermal hybrid solar collector (or PVT) is an equipment that integrates a photovoltaic (PV) module, for the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy, and a module with high thermal conversion efficiency (T), which employs a thermal fluid.
On the contrary to solar thermal collectors with selective absorber coating, the heat losses due to infrared radiation emission on the front side of the covered PVT panel limit the thermal efficiency in the upper-temperature range, if no engineering measures are taken.
Therefore, the operation temperature range is from ca. ambient to up to 85 °C fluid temperature. Advantages of this PVT design toward a classic solar thermal collector are to provide electric energy from the same area using factor surplus to direct useable graded heat at hot water and heating support temperature levels.
