Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) collectors are an emerging technology that combines PV and solar thermal systems in a single solar collector producing heat and electricity simultaneously. The focus of this thesis work is to evaluate the performance of unglazed open loop PVT air system integrated on a garage roof in Borlänge. As it is thought to have a significant potential for preheating vent...

A photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector is a type of solar that can simultaneously produce electrical and energy from energy. In this research, the daily annual performances an air-cooled PVT with triangle-shaped obstacles were investigated compared those conventional collector. Based on circuit model, numerical model containing has been developed validated using experimental results. typical me...

This study presents experimental results on Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar systems, the commercial photovoltaic (PV) panels used as solar absorbers in PVT collectors, which are amorphous and multi-crystalline silicon. Testing was done with outdoor experiments in the climate of Bangkok corresponding to energy consumption behavior of medium size Thai families. The experimental results show that...

A Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) collector produces heat and electricity simultaneously. Air-type PVT uses air as a transfer medium to take from PV back side surface. The performance of the air-type is affected by design elements such types, inside structures in collecting space (baffle or fins), shape pathway, etc. In this study, an advanced was designed with curved baffles (absorber) improve ther...

Due to the rapid industrialization and development across the entire globe, there is the increasing demand for energy. However, the energy sources from fossil fuels are not abundant in every part of the world. India has to import fuel from other parts of the world which consumes a major portion of Government funds. So, currently improving solar energy technologies efficiency is one of the most ...

Despite their low electrical efficiencies, PVs are widely used to generate electricity from abundant solar energy. In order maximize the utilization of incident energy, PVT collectors have been simultaneously and thermal Furthermore, combining PVTs with humidification-dehumidification (HDH) cycles can provide potable water in remote, arid rural areas that not connected grid. this paper, a PVT-a...
