“…The study presented herein is based on the work previously reported by Yang et al [1], and references [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] where a flat plate solar collector is attached to a PV panel. The hybrid system in question is composed of the PV solar panel and thermal solar tube collector as well as a heat pump as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…New PV technologies reported in the literature have been shown to improve the energy utilization efficiency of solar PV, such as multi-junction cells, optical frequency shifting, and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems, among others; however, these are expensive. In order to improve the efficiency of solar PVs a novel concept of a combined photovoltaic-thermal solar panel hybrid system has been developed and implemented [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], where the PV cells of the solar PV panels are cooled by water flow. Excess thermal energy is generated and dissipated due to intrinsic limitations of the cell, that is, the excess thermal energy increases the cell temperature, which reduces the conversion efficiency of the cell.…”

A numerical simulation model for a novel concept of a hybrid composed of photovoltaicthermal solar panels and a heat pump is presented. This concept was developed to assess the performance and energy conversion efficiency of the hybrid system used to produce domestic hot water and electricity. A two-dimensional heat transfer and fluid flow dynamic model was developed to describe the behavior of the hybrid system under different solar irradiance, heat pump boundary conditions and different refrigerants. The model is based on dynamic mass and energy equations coupled with the heat transfer coefficients, and the thermodynamic properties of refrigerants as well as material properties. The model compared fairly to experimental data.

“…Moreover, a PV/T system with booster diffuse reflectors of concentration, C=1.35, can achieve a percentage increase of electrical efficiency up to 19.2% (compared to that of the simple PV module), at an additional PV/T cost for the reflectors of only about 4%. Lalovic et al (1986) built a PV/T collector using amorphous silicon photovoltaic cell and its performance was tested. The diameter of the copper tubes was 12 mm and tube spacing was 12 cm.…”

An extensive amount of research on PVthermal collectors has been carried out over the last 25 years. This paper aims at presenting a review of the most available literature on PV/T collectors. The review is presented in a thematic way, in order to enable an easier comparison of the findings obtained by various researchers, especially on parameters affecting PV/T performance (electrical and thermal). The review covers analytical and numerical models, simulation and experimental work and qualitative evaluation of thermal/electrical output.

Abstract:The temperature of photovoltaic modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by applying a heat recovery unit with fluid circulation (air or water) with the photovoltaic module. Such unit is called photovoltaic/thermal collector (pv/t) or hybrid (pv/t). An experimental investigation of a solar air heater with photovoltaic cell located at the absorber with compound parabolic collector (CPC) and fins have been developed and tested. The performance of the photovoltaic, thermal and combined pv/t collector over range of operating conditions and the results was discussed. Results at solar irradiance of 400 W/m 2 showed that the combined pv/t efficiency is increasing from 27.50 % to 40.044 % at mass flow rates various from 0.0316 to 0.09 kg −1 s.
