Abstract
This paper presents the performance evaluation of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (Semi transparent PVT) double pass facade for space heating. The thermal model has been developed by using the energy balance equations of the proposed hybrid photovoltaic thermal double pass facade under quasi-steady state condition. Numerical computations have been carried out for the composite climate of New Delhi, India. An analysis has been carried out to calculate annual energy and exergy gain for the hybrid photovoltaic thermal double pass facade. On the basis of numerical results it has been observed that the annual thermal and electrical energy are 480.81 kWh and 469.87 kWh respectively. The yearly overall thermal energy generated by the system has been calculated as 1729.84 kWh. It is also observed that the room air temperature increases by 5–6 °C than the ambient air temperature for a typical winter day.
