Solimpeks - Model PV-T -Hybrid Photovoltaic and Thermal Solar Collectors

Photovoltaics (PV) are semi-conductors and operate in a paradox – they need sunlight to generate electricity but suffer a degradation in performance as they get hotter. Standard PV Panels typically only convert 10-15% of solar radiation into electricity and the rest is dissipated as waste heat. PV-T stands for Photovoltaic-Thermal and generates both electricity and usable thermal heat at the same time from one panel. The module heat is absorbed in order to produce hot water; This way, PV efficiency is optimized as the heat is transferred into hot water for hot water production. Dual solar collection: 2 usable energy outputs with one collection system.
