“…After analysis, it was found that the authors classified the PVT systems based on several criteria. For example, classification obtained based on heat extraction medium is shown in [46][47][48]51,[53][54][55]59,62,[65][66][67]69], classification based on the overall system's is discussed in [39,49,50,57,60,61,63,64], and classification based on the PVT system's design is shown in [52,56,58,68]. The overview of different criteria of classification discussed in the papers is shown in Figure 8.…”

A Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) system is one of the most emerging and energy-efficient technologies in the area of solar energy engineering. This review paper provides a comprehensive review of hybrid PVT systems in the context of the history of PVT, general classification, and parameter analysis. Several cell technologies with spectrum analysis are discussed to understand the application’s ability and energy efficiency. Hybrid PVT concept, characteristics, and structure analysis is also discussed in this study. An extensive analysis on the classifications of hybrid PVT systems from the recent literature is also presented here. These literatures are identified based on several criteria. In order to provide a complete and energy-efficient technology, an innovative classification of the hybrid PVT system is proposed in this paper. This proposed classification is a combination and upgrade of various existing classifications mentioned in recent research studies. Parameters have a significant and unavoidable impact on the performance and efficiency of the hybrid PVT system. A brief analysis of different parameters and the optimization of the system is conducted after reviewing recent research articles. This analysis provides insights into the impact of parameter variations on the system. A novel parameter model comprising parametric and optimistic analyses is also presented in this paper. It provides a detailed parametric description that significantly affects the performance and efficiency of the hybrid PVT system. Finally, the assessment focuses on a critical analysis of the main challenges in adopting PVT technology and suggests ways to overcome these barriers.

“…The photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system is an effective research area to maximise the PV module’s generated power and provide an opportunity to supply the heat lost by the traditional PV system 16 . The combination of the PV and thermal system, also known as a hybrid PVT, enhances the efficiency of the PV cell and produces low-grade heat 17,18 . The optimisation coordination of the PVT system is one of the most critical research perspectives that is still in several laboratories because the actual commercial market does not have various types of high efficient PVT systems 19 .…”

Solar energy is the powerhouse where all potential and classified renewable energies lug their sources. The energy transformation from the Sun to electricity requires an adequate control scheme to maximise the generated power and enhance the system efficiency. Besides, more than half of solar irradiation on conventional PV panels is lost. The PV/T modules have been introduced to convert the lost irradiation to heat. Thus, a systematic review of system components, development, and strategies for grid-connected solar Photovoltaics (PVs) plants is presented. Two solar PVs, traditional PV and thermal (PV/T), are evaluated. Each grid-tied PV component is considered a subsystem to analyse the potential improvement of grid-connected PVs. This is from solar resources to grid-tied PV inverter techniques. An intensive assessment of the system improvements is presented to evaluate PV plants’ benefits, challenges, and potential solutions. The improvement trends for the novel generation of grid-connected PV systems consist of applying innovative approaches. It is also found that intelligent strategies optimally ensure the overall efficiency of grid-tied PVs using real-time control and measurement under innovative applications and technologies. These methods effectively assist in enhancing grid-tied diverse solar power approaches. Therefore, this paper would offer a significant foundation for advanced research into the subject of grid-tied PV and PV/T and their innovation and/or technology development.

“…Several methods are available for reclaiming solar energy that is incident on the Earth's surface [25]. The incident solar energy is directly absorbed or channeled through a thermal absorber [26]. This absorbed energy can be used for heating or cooling rooms, generating thermal electricity, cooking, drying, etc.…”

Different energy solutions are required to satisfy the energy demand of the world’s ever-growing population. Photovoltaic Thermal systems (PVT) could propose resolutions to tackle real-time issues regarding power generation. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is performed to compare the environmental impact and measure the energy across different PVT modules consisting of a-Si, CdTe, and CIS thin-film solar cells. The authors performed LCA to calculate the energy payback time (EPBT) and life-cycle CO2 emissions of residential rooftop and open-field PVT systems. The primary energy needed to produce thin-film PVT modules of 1 m2 cell area was considered in the present life cycle analysis studies operated using water as the working fluid. The annual net electrical energy savings at various Indian weather conditions, such as New Delhi, Jodhpur, and Ladakh, have been calculated. For the thin-film PVT systems, the calculated values of annual energy yield for three locations with average solar radiation levels and peak sun hours in the range of 600–1000 W/m2 and 6–8 h were reported. Results show that the CO2 emissions for rooftop installation of CdTe and CIS are around 200 and 156 kg/annually, which is lower than the open field installation of the same, where CO2 emissions were found to be 295 and 250 kg/year.
