Over the last decade, market has experienced a growing interest in hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technologies, although more long-term studies are needed before air-based PVT panels fully implemented. In this paper, we present experimental framework developed around an collector, consisting of high-quality photovoltaic laminate and newly designed thermal absorber. The performance collector ...

This paper discusses the effect of jet impingement of water on a photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector and compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) on electrical efficiency, thermal efficiency and power production of a PVT system. A prototype of a PVT solar water collector installed with a jet impingement and CPC has been designed, fabricated and experimentally investigated. The efficiency of the ...

Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technology refers to the integration of a photovoltaic (PV) and a conventional solar thermal collector, representing the deep exploitation and utilization of solar energy. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a solar PVT cogeneration system based on specific building energy demand using theoretical modeling and experimental study. Through calculation and simu...

In the current paper, different thermal energy storage unit-integrated photovoltaic (PVT) air collectors with and without nanoparticles have been designed, fabricated tested. Aluminum oxide integrated into unit to increase performance of PVT collector. The developed tested in a drying application at two mass flow rates. major goals this work are upgrading collector by employing nano-embedded an...

in this paper, the performance evaluation of a two-way hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (pv/t) solar collector was analytically and experimentally carried out. mathematical expressions for operating parameters in glass to glass and glass to tedlar pv/t solar collectors were developed and experimentally validated by a glass to tedlar pv/t solar collector system. also the influence of air flow rate on...
