- Abstract:
- Photovoltaic modules and solar collectors are used together in hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar collectors (PV/T) for simultaneous provision of electrical and thermal energy. This paper proposes design of a simulation model for testing of efficiency of photovoltaic-thermal solar collectors. The model is used for testing of dependence of thermal and electrical efficiency of the systems on a series of factors; material of the photovoltaic module, type of cooling medium, flow of cooling medium, collector design, exposure to sunlight, speed of wind and environment temperature. Values measured within the system were recorded and the measuring equipment and methods for the measuring system were proposed.
