A green house electricity and heat generation: Solar PV/thermal panel-review

Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) collectors are an rising technology which combines solar PV and solar thermal collectors by generating heat and electricity simultaneously. The output of solar PV panel decreases with increment in operating temperature. Heat extraction from solar PV panel results in electrical efficiency improvement. Here we present a review of conventional flat-plate PV/T and concentrating PV/T system using liquid and air. The output of the study defined the common problem with the heat increasing in the solar cell which was cased the low efficiency. This idea supported the new innovative solutions to extract heat and utilize it for other purposes.
