Abstract

Photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems integrate photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into one single system with dual production of electricity and heat energy. There are alternative designs to suit different applications. For a given collector surface area, the overall system energy performance is higher than the conventional "side-by-side" PV and solar thermal systems. This helps to promote PV since the economic payback period of PV/T is much shorter. In this paper, the various water-based PV/T systems and products are reviewed. The experimental and simulation results of some new and promising designs suitable for warm climate applications are presented. Comparisons are made between natural flow and forced flow systems, glazed and unglazed conditions and so on. Also discussed are the marketing potentials of the PV/T technology.
