Abstract:Solar thermal collectors generally convert sunlight into heat solely. However, if photovoltaic solar panels are used as collectors, the dryer system will get electricity in addition to the heat. The objectives of the present are to review the development of PV-T collectors and their use for solar drying. In addition, design and test a small scale solar dryer is carried out in this study by utilizing amorphous type photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) as a collector. The heat obtained is used directly as a drying medium… Show more
