A comprehensive review of photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technology

Kern and Russell (1978) first proposed the PVT system in the mid-1970s to address the issue of solar efficiency decline with increasing solar cell temperature. Because more than 80% of renewable power energy is converted to heat, that can harm PV cells if not stored in a thermal collector (Diwania et al., 2020).The concept of PVT system is depicted in Fig. 2.

Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic / Thermal (PVT) Collectors

A photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system is a technology that combines photovoltaics (PV) and a solar thermal collector to produce thermal energy and generate electricity. PVT systems have the advantage that the energy output per unit area is higher than the single use of a PV module or solar thermal collector, since both heat and electricity can be

Photovoltaic thermal collectors, typically abbreviated as PVT collectors and also known as hybrid solar collectors, photovoltaic thermal solar collectors, PV/T collectors or solar cogeneration systems, are power generation technologies that convert solar radiation into usable thermal and electrical energy. PVT collectors combine photovoltaic solar cells (often arranged in solar panels), which convert sunlight into electricity, with a solar thermal collector, which transfers the otherwis
