Two separate one-dimensional analyses have been developed for the prediction of the thermal and electrical performance of both liquid and air flat-plate, photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collectors. The results of the analyses are compared with test measurements, and therefrom design recommendations are made to maximize the total energy extracted from the collectors. 16 refs.
