Abstract:Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors were developed by combination of photovoltaic (PV) panel and thermal collector. The combination of technologies in one system has the potential to reduce cost of materials, required space and also improves performance of collectors. The PVT collectors will produce electrical and thermal energy simultaneously. PV technology converts solar radiation into electricity while thermal collector will be converting solar energy to thermal energy. The main components of PVT collecto… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
