Numerical model and parametric analysis of a liquid based hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector

A hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) panel is a module in which the photovoltaic (PV) layer is not only producing electricity, but also operates as a thermal absorber. As a result, thermal and electrical energy are being produced simultaneously, operating as a micro-cogeneration equipment. As in any...
