Analysis and Design of an Energy System Based on PV/T Water Collector for Building Application

The efficiency of PV module is improved by combining a PV module and a thermal collector in one unit, resulting in a hybrid photovoltaic and thermal collector (PV/ T). The PV/ T system is a new solar and thermal technology which can provide simultanuously electrical and thermal energy. This kind of technologies can be used easily according to users demands. The aim of this paper is the design of an energy system based on PV/ T collector applied...
