Energetic study of hybrid solar PV/T collectors

Abstract

The hybrid solar thermal (PV/T) offer an attractive option because the absorbed solar radiation is converted into heat and electricity. The ongoing conflict is well known between temperature and photovoltaic systems by the increase in solar irradiance, and thus the increase in ambient temperature, the cells become less efficient. For to stabilize in the operating temperature; the simple solution is to cool the cell even though it requires a refrigeration system power consumption, with which the overall performance also low.
