“…In order for this to be done effectively, and to ensure market acceptance of this technology within the building industry, the solar, optical and thermal properties of STPV windows and their effect on a building energy performance need to be studied and quantified. Issues such as heat management (STPV cells overheating and non-uniform temperature distributions between cells located near center-of-the-window and cells located near-the-edge results in electrical efficiency reduction and STPV window thermal stress), visual and thermal performance as well as cost and durability (at least twenty years of performance) have been shown to be as important as STPV electricity production (Chow et al, 2007;Fung and Yang, 2008;Vats et al, 2012); e.g., the selection of STPV optical properties has a direct impact on STPV electrical performance, solar heat gains and daylight availability within the building (Fig. 1).…”

“…The study made by Vats et.al [13] showed that the increase of packing factor is not always proportional with the efficiency of the system. An optimal packing factor is crucial for the PV/T performance as the high value of packing factor will cause the increase of solar cell temperature and thus decrease the electrical efficiency.…”

Abstract. Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) system emerged as one of the convenient type of renewable energy system acquire the ability to generate power and thermal energy in the absence of moving parts. However, the power output of PV/T is intermittent due to dependency on solar irradiation condition. Furthermore, its efficiency decreases because of cells instability at high temperature. On the other hand, fuel cell co-generation system (CGS) is another technology that can generate power and heat simultaneously. Integration of PV/T and fuel cell CGS could enhance the reliability and sustainability of both systems as well as increasing the overall system performance. Hence, this paper intended to present the parameters that affect performance of PV/T and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) CGS. Moreover, recent developments on PV/T-fuel cell hybrid system are also presented. Based on literates, mass flow rate of moving fluid in PV/T was found to affect the system efficiency. For the PEMFC, when the heat is utilized, the system performance can be increased where the heat efficiency is similar to electrical efficiency which is about 50%. Recent developments of hybrid PV/T and fuel cell show that most of the studies only focus on the power generation of the system. There are less study on the both power and heat utilization which is indeed necessary in future development in term of operation strategy, optimization of size, and operation algorithm.

In today's world, the daily need for and cost of energy sources increase and this forces industrial institutions to seek for new ways to generate their own energy. The developments in photovoltaic systems have recently drawn attention in the business world. Although their installation costs are high, they are environmentally friendly and profitable investments in the long run. The cost analysis of a large-scale photovoltaic generator in the climatic conditions of Kahramanmaraş will lead the way to new investments. In this study, the modeling and cost analysis of an on-grid photovoltaic generator of 500 kW, which was installed to provide energy for a textile factory located in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş Province (37.5• N, 37.
