Original Abstract

The reduction of photo-electric efficiency due to increase of working temperature can be partially prevented by heat extraction with using of air cooling. Designed hybrid solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) system is able to produce electricity and heat simultaneously in single device. For this purpose a various PV/T collectors have been developed and tested in DEPE Solar laboratory. The research and design has been primary focused on operational temperature reduction and also on optimization of heat transfer from collector to coolant. Two main types of FV/T collectors have been studied. The first ones have been based on common of the shelf photovoltaic generators with necessary technical modifications for temperature reduction and heat extraction. The second one has only one member, fully designed in DEPE solar laboratory. This member was optimized for heat transfer between collector and coolant. In this paper are presented and compared theoretical and measured conclusions of this research
