Design of Efficient Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) Systems: Exploring Efficiencies of Photovoltaic Thermal Systems

Abstract

A new idea of thehybrid photovoltaic thermal(PVT) collector is planned to improve electricalefficiency and to use unnecessary heat in the form of thermal energy. The project is to improve heatefficiency. The use of air, water and their combination is considered as ordinary and common. Withsophisticated high-tech models, the difficulties were increased in order to develop the efficiency of PVTsuch as nanofluids, nano-Phased Material, heat pumping and jet impingement. This paper provides ananalysis of new concepts that are being proposed in the literature to boost the PVT collectors' efficiencyand from which the assessment criteria are extracted. In terms of parameters such as pumping capacity,scale, design and the elements for comparison, we have compared the different PVT modules. The biasis to improve electrical or thermal efficiency.
