Economic evaluation and annual performance analysis of a novel series-coupled PV/T and solar TC with solar direct expansion heat pump system: An experimental and numerical study

Numerical examination of expanding the effectiveness of thermal photovoltaic framework by changing the level of heat transfer conveyance

“…A PVT system is a facility capable of supplying heat, cold and electricity to any consumer (building, process, network, and grid) at the correct temperature and voltage all year round. Solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity and a heat exchanger for producing thermal energy make up a PVT module [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. Their main advantage is that, compared to separate PV and solar thermal systems, they have a higher overall conversion output (which may be greater than 75 % [8,9]), thanks to the fact that they concurrently create electrical and thermal outputs from the same aperture area [ 10 ].…”

Benchmarking and economic analysis of the impact of geometric structural design on the thermoelectric performance of air‐cooled photovoltaic thermal systems

“…An empirical and numerical study to evaluate the economics and analyze the annual performance of a new series of PV/T and thermal collector (TC) solar power plants with direct solar heat pumps has been conducted in [24].…”
