Theoretical and experimental study of sheet and tubes hybrid PVT collector

Efficiency maximization and performance evaluation of hybrid dual channel semitransparent photovoltaic thermal module using fuzzyfied genetic algorithm

“…The configuration of the hybrid photovoltaic thermal collector has been presented, which is made with sheet and tubes and test has been conducted at the unit of applied research in Renewable Energy Ghardaia, Algeria. It is reported that the proposed design is a better heat absorption and lower production cost as compared to other hybrid collector model given in literature [12]. There are different types of PVT systems are available like unglazed glazed, opaque and semitransparent and have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of electrical and thermal energy.…”

Energy management and parametric optimization of an integrated PV solar house

“…Thus, lower efficiency of PV module increases its temperature degrading the module output and life. Cooling the solar cell array by allowing ambient air (or water as in [19]) to flow behind and probably over the PV module reduces these problems.…”

Parametric performance analysis of a concentrated photovoltaic co-generation system equipped with a thermal storage tank

“…However, the high cost and limited practical use of concentrated photovoltaic (PV) systems remain important issues in terms of competing with conventional energy systems. Toaufek et al [5] developed a low production cost new sheet and tubes PV thermal collector design which increased the system electrical output by extracting heat from the PV module. Comprehensive theoretical and numerical analyses of the solar thermal conversion efficiency have been made of parabolic trough solar collector systems with designed parameters and under the effects of the defocusing phenomenon [6].…”
