Combined solar collectors

Abstract

The report considers the possibility of organizing in the MEI the production of combined solar collectors, which have become widespread in foreign countries recent years. In Russia, such collectors are not produce despite the presence in many parts of the country of favorable conditions for their use. The report presents the proposed design of combined solar collectors for production and shows the practical possibility of their manufacture and use in Russia. Application of combined solar collectors: roofs of residential and public buildings to provide them with electricity and heat. In a combined solar collector photovoltaic panel and a heat collector are located in one housing, function together, produce more energy and take up less space than if they work separately. The free area on the roof of the house in this case is doubles in comparison with separately installed photovoltaic panels and thermal solar collectors, which creates conditions for placing additional capacity on the same area and reduces the cost of installation work.
