<span lang="EN-US">Growing concern with regard to energy sources and their usage has consequently increased significance of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collectors. A PV/T air collector is a system which has a conventional PV system combined with a thermal collector system. The system is able to produce electrical energy directly converted from sunlight by using photoelectric effect. Meanwhile, it also extracts heat from the PV and warms the fluid (air flow) inside the collector. In this review, solar PV system and solar thermal collectors are presented. In addition, studies conducted on solar PV/T air collectors are reviewed. The development of PV/T air collectors is a very promising area of research. PV/T air collectors using in solar drying and solar air heater.</span>

“…Absorber is a vital part HPV/T structure which can affect the system performance and cost. Thus, design is studied by many researchers and occasionally it is built by using cheaper materials to decrease the installation cost (El Hocine et al, 2016;Slimani et al, 2016). Slimani et al (2016) study HPV/T collector in detail which is suitable for an indirect solar dryer.…”

Hybrid photovoltaic/ thermal systems are very promising clean energy harvesting devices where they can be used either standalone system or can be incorporated with other systems. In this study, historical developments leading to current Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (HPV/T) systems as it is used today and global findings to enhance the performance of HPV/T system through state-of-the-art analyses are presented in a thematic way. The findings from initial studies on the HPV/T systems is revealed in an historical way and rest of sections are formed based on selected criteria. The paper covers basic and advanced type collectors, working fluids, analyzing methods to assess performance, thermodynamic approaches, optimization of design parameters and mass flow rates, techniques to enhance performance and comparative studies. Especially, various parametric studies to optimize performance of the HPV/T with respect to selected parameters including different types of absorbers, packing factor, cooling schemes, working fluid types, modifications at different sections of the system are comprehensively investigated. Based on the conclusions, the variation in electrical and thermal efficiencies are mainly in the scope of this study. It is observed from the literature that solar HPV/T system has a great potential to be one of the up and coming clean energy technology.

This study aimed to investigate the performance of a novel encapsulated phase change material (PCM) photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system. A PCM, which has a high latent heat capacity, can absorb energy from a PV cell and reduce the operating temperature, improving both the electrical and thermal efficiencies of the panel. In this study, a computer model based on a PCM PV/T panel is developed, and its accuracy is verified using experimental data. The effect of the phase change temperature on the performance of the panel was analyzed by numerical simulation. When the phase change temperature was 30.1 °C, the system exhibited a maximum electrical efficiency of 8.2% and a thermal efficiency of 71.8%. When the phase change temperature was 20.24 °C, the system had a maximum exergy efficiency of 33.7%. In general, the temperature of the PCM integrated into the PV/T system should not be too high.
