“…Both large-scale and smallscale PV installations that operates in off-grid mode and on-grid mode have been successfully installed onboard ships [28]. In [29], the possibility of increasing the efficiency of PV integrated ship power system using the PV cooling system has been analysed. Installation site of PV in a cruise ship is thoroughly examined in [30].…”

The naval industry is being imposed by international maritime organisation (IMO) [1] to gradually reduce its green house gas emission. Different types of pollutant gases are produced by the marine fuels [2] consumed by bulk carriers, cargo ships, passenger vessels, etc., which is harmful to both humans and environment. Therefore maritime sector is diverging from fossil fuels and moving toward new energy resources like batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic (PV) cells, wind energy, biofuels, hydrogen, liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), etc. for becoming zero emission vessel (ZEV) [3−9].

“…Authors accomplished initial analysis for an installation of the above type which could be mounted on any ship, e.g. passenger-vehicle ferry [ 27 ]. Calculations of power gain were made for 12 advised days of the year, for a vessel that berthed in the harbor of Świnoujście/Poland, or in the vicinity, e.g.…”

“…on its roadstead. According to conclusions in paper [ 27 ], the inconvenient season to use cooling systems in PV modules is winter, and the better time is late spring. However, more detailed analysis of PV installation's operation should focus on power increase for each statistic day of the month.…”

“…However, there is no standard method to assure their effective cooling. The simplest method is to spray water onto the hot surface of the PV module [1][2][3]. Both sides of the PV modules, the front and the rear, can be sprayed by the cold water and the efficiency of the PV modules can be kept at the standard level (according to values determined for STC À Standard Test Conditions), but there is often a problem of lack of water.…”

The paper analyses the operation of a photovoltaic/thermal system in a single family house in a central European climate through simulation studies. The PV/T system is used for DHW heating and electricity generation. Glazed and unglazed modules are considered. Effective utilization of solar energy for heating purposes requires the use of heat storage, which is particularly visible not only in cold, but also in moderates climates. Consequently, the operation of solar systems is more complex, different modes of operation are possible to provide heat or electricity, or both. Possible modes of operation were appropriately modeled and the obtained energy gains were analyzed. When modeling the heat storage process, the heat stratification effect in the storage tank was taken into account. Monthly shares of solar energy in providing DHW heating energy and electricity for all months of the year are presented. The glazed modules can fully cover the DHW demand during 5 warm months, but they cannot cover the electricity demand. The share of electricity provided by PV can vary from 67% to 93%. On the contrary, in the case of unglazed PV/T modules during these 5 months the share of thermal demand can be covered only from 62% to 90%, but the electricity demand can by covered fully. In winter there is no significant solar thermal energy gained in both cases. Unglazed PV/T modules should be used in central European climate, if electricity generation is a priority. If DHW heating is equally important, then their operation should be coupled with glazed thermal collectors.
