Abstract

Photovoltaic modules can generate more electricity when receives a big quantity of solar radiation, but the efficiency of (PV) modules will drop when the temperature of solar cells is high. Therefore, reducing the high temperatures of (PV) modules will contribute to increase the electrical efficiency of (PV) modules by extraction the thermal energy associated with the PV modules and achieve an appropriate conversion efficiency of (PV). The aim of the study in this paper is to recognize the performance of hybrid (PV/T) systems in different places, conditions, module designs which can be used in household applications, hotels, etc. Aiming to supply of electricity and thermal energy. The study indicates to use of cooling technique (water or air) to cooling (PV) modules will contribute to a large extent to strengthen the work of solar cells and the efficiency of (PV/T) system as well. And the rate return of the system of electricity and thermal energy will increase, especially when the hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar systems were properly designed and the conversion rate of absorbed solar radiation for (PV) modules will increase as well.
