A review on photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) air and water collectors

Flat plate solar photovoltaic–thermal (PV/T) systems: A reference guide

“…An overview of the research projects on Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) collectors, and a thematic overview addressing the different research issues for PV/T was discussed [51]. The design, performance, theoretical and experimental studies of air and water PV/T collectors are presented [52]. The classification of the flat plate PV/T collector, design and performance evaluation using water, air and combination of water and/or air based was elaborated.…”

Concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collector systems: Part I – Fundamentals, design considerations and current technologies

“…For instance, experimental total system efficiencies as high as 65.1% [242], theoretical heat transfer fluid (HTF) outlet temperatures as high as 196 1C [247], costs as low as 2.37 $ W e À 1 [237], levelized energy (electrical and thermal) costs as low as 8.7 c€ kWh À 1 [259], and energy and greenhouse gas payback periods as low as one year [258] have all been reported in the literature. Several review articles on PVT technology [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]230,231,[297][298][299][300] and CPV technology [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] already exist in the literature. One review article on low-concentration CPVTs [232] is found in the literature.…”

A review of concentrated photovoltaic-thermal (CPVT) hybrid solar systems with waste heat recovery (WHR)

“…The WHR and SBS CPVT systems have been developed since 1970s and 1980s [18], respectively, and they have been reviewed in several documents [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. However, most of these papers mainly concern the examinations of flat-plate PVT systems, and discussions on CPVT systems are not quite profound and comprehensive.…”
