As conventional fossil fuel systems release toxicants into the atmosphere, humanity is increasingly moving towards sustainability, towards using products that do not cause negative effects on the environment, have a long service life and offer multiple benefits. Solar air heating systems are increasingly used in household applications, even in industrial ones at times. The principle of operation of systems of this type is established on the existence of solar radiance, without this the panels have little or no efficiency at all, so they are limited to sunny periods. One of the methods of increasing the impact and performance of these systems is the realization of hybrid systems that offer several benefits with regard to heating the air in rooms, heating water and ventilating spaces. The meaning of this article is to present a summary of the existing literature, in the sphere of solar hybrid air heating systems, on the methods of improvement and the performance achieved.
