Description

A photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system is associated with a solar thermal collector and a photovoltaic (PV) module. PV/T systems are converting the solar energy in to electricity and thermal energy. Tropical country like India has good potential for applying this technology. In this study, a hybrid system is fabricated by using a polycrystalline silicon module as a solar collector attached with heat exchanger. The comparative study was carried out with same capacity PV module. The results show that the performance of the PV/T system is better than the simple solar PV system. PV/T systems are simple and suitable for electricity generation as well as for low-temperature heating applications.
