A Survey on Applications of Hybrid PV/T Panels

Photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) collectors have gained a lot of attention in recent years due to their substantial advantages as compared ST or PV systems alone and even other non-solar technologies. However, PV/Ts are still not popular industry construction they known major players implementing solar energy installations. In this article, general presentation review applications given. First, different heat extraction media (e.g., air, water, bi-fluid, etc.) hybrid design configurations PV/T addressed. Next, the main discussed order highlight feasibility usefulness raise awareness for adoption buildings sector. Applications include desalination, air-conditioning, drying, trigeneration, etc. This paper should be considered reference form extract key points future research development well applications.
