Photovoltaic thermal collectors (PVTs) are a modern hybrid type of solar energy technology that converts sunlight into both power and heat by combining PV and solar thermal technologies in a single unit. These systems consist of photovoltaic cells and an integrated heat exchanger.
Applications of photovoltaic–thermal systems are summarized in detail. A view on the future of PV/T developments and the future work is presented. The commercial solar cells are currently less efficient in converting solar radiation into electricity. During electric power convention, most of the absorbed energy is dissipated to the surroundings.
A photovoltaic–thermal (PV/T) system does both the generation of electric power and collection of thermal energy at the same time. Thus, the overall efficiency of the photovoltaic–thermal (PV/T) system can increase accordingly.
The adoption of photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors is a promising new trend because the market for this type of solar energy collector has gained market interest in recent years. PVT collectors convert solar radiation into both power and heat and thus will play an important role in the energy supply of the future.
