Solar energy is a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. When solar energy is converted into electricity by photovoltaic (PV) solar modules, the heat generated increases the temperature of the PV solar cells and, as a result, reduces their electrical efficiency. Several techniques are used to cool PV solar cells in order to reduce their operating temperature. One technique is the use of hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) solar collectors, which simultaneously produce electricity and useful heat. In the airflow channel, the heat and mass transfer equations and those derived from the energy balance on the solid layers of the collector were discretized using the finite difference method with an implicit alternating directions (ADI) scheme. All the algebraic equations obtained after discretization were solved using the Thomas algorithm. The aim is to make a numerical comparison of the energy performance of the Verre-PV-Tedlar and Verre-PV-Verre flat-plate air PVT hybrid solar collectors in the climatic conditions of Lomé, Togo. Under the same operating conditions, the average electrical efficiencies of the Verre-PV-Verre and Verre-PV-Tedlar flat-plate air PVT hybrid collectors are 15.34% and 13.85% respectively. There is a 1.49% improvement in electrical efficiency for a Verre-PV-Verre air-source PVT hybrid collector compared with a Verre-PV-Tedlar PVT hybrid collector. The Verre-PV-Verre flat plate PVT air hybrid collector has an average daily electrical energy gain of 0.564 kWh and a thermal energy gain of 0.839 kWh, while the Verre-PV-Tedlar flat plate PVT air hybrid collector has an average daily electrical energy gain of 0.548 kWh and a thermal energy gain of 1.403 kWh.
