Abstract

A practical demonstration of a monitoring system for PV/T concentrating system is presented in this paper. The solar module under test is a PV/T double axis concentrating system using a primary spherical reflector and a secondary parabolic reflector. The overall system can provide both electrical and thermal energy. The concentrating system and the monitoring system have been developed under the European Community grant of UPPSol (Urban Photovoltaics: Polygeneration with Solar Energy). The presented monitoring system, based on a main central processor, is able to monitor both electrical and thermal characteristics acquired from the solar and thermal plant.
