OSTI ID:6624117
A combined photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T), flatplate, liquid collector, where the liquid circulates both below and above the photovoltaic cells (the primary energy-absorbing surface), has been designed and tested according to ASHRAE 93-77 specifications to yield collector thermal and electrical efficiencies. A one-dimensional thermal analysis predicts the test results accurately. On the strength of the test and analytical results, design recommendations are made to maximize the total energy extracted from the collectors.
