“…Fang et al [11], also reports that PV/T hot water systems and PV/T heat pumps are the most commonly studied systems in China. On type of system that is studied is the PV/T solar assisted heat pump (SAHP), where the PV/T module is integrated in the heat pump and used directly as evaporator.…”

“…Task 35 also published a study in which architects, engineers, building owners and solar dealers in Canada, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and Spain were interviewed [11]. One conclusion from the survey was that the markets were very country-specific, and depended to a large degree on the composition of the existing PV and solar thermal markets.…”

“…PV/T-air systems is not at the focus of research and development in China, but more interest is put in PV/T systems for water heating and with direct connection to heat pumps. According to Fang et al [11], it is expected that PV/T hot water systems will become one of the main solar systems in buildings in China.…”

This paper presents a review of projects where hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems are used in buildings. PV/T systems convert solar radiation to electricity and heat simultaneously, in one module. The output of both electricity and heat suggests that the technology can be suited for use in buildings, especially when the available area for installation is limited. The market and research activities related to PV/T technology has increased in recent years. This article adds to existing reviews on PV/T technology by focusing on the building perspective. Different strategies for the use of PV/T in buildings are discussed, and examples of building projects are presented. An attempt is also made to assess to suitability of different PV/T technologies for use in buildings. Finally, the regional variations in market and applications are discussed.

“…Photovoltaic (PV) devices can be used for converting solar irradiation to electricity while solar thermal collectors can convert solar irradiation to the heat which powers a steam generator, i.e. solar thermal power, or for domestic applications [1][2][3][4]. One type of solar thermal collector is the flat-plate solar thermal collector usually used for water or air heating at low temperatures (< 150 °C) [5][6][7].…”

“…On the one hand, with the mobilization of international PV market, Chinese PV manufacturing industry has been developing rapidly. It has formed a relatively complete industry chain from silicon material, device, production equipment to system integration; the conversion efficiency of PV cell has been constantly improving, and the manufacturing capacity has been quickly expanding [2,3]. Though China has suffered from European and American "anti-dumping and anti-subsidy" taxation and other unfavorable elements in recent years, the annual output of Chinese PV cell is still increasing.…”

With the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV) industry and vigorous incentive policies in China, the domestic application of PV has had "explosive" growth in recent years. The application in buildings is also worth of attention to find the solution of PV application in buildings and solve the problems emerged today, that is the basis to promote the PV systems as distributed energy. In this paper, the status of PV application in buildings in China is selectively analyzed, based on the relative information of domestic PV projects. Samples of statistical analysis are 1504 PV projects from part of the domestic ones built up during 2009 to the end of 2012, mainly come from "Golden-sun Demonstration Project" and "Photovoltaic Roof Demonstration Project". And the capacity of samples is 6983MW which takes up 87.1% of the nationwide accumulative installed capacity by the end of 2012. The distribution status, installation form with buildings and system performance are statistically analyzed. Meanwhile some problems and suggestions such as the rationality of regional distribution, the building integration forms are discussed and the system performance improvement method are proposed. It is expected to make some contribution to the application of PV in buildings in the future in China.
