Solar energy can be harnessed in two main ways: through photovoltaic (PV) systems, which convert sunlight into electricity, and thermal energy systems, which use sunlight to heat water or other fluids [6].A key component of solar thermal systems is the solar collector, which absorbs heat from the sun and transfers it to a working fluid [10].However, PV panels''

Hybrid PV/T solar collectors can be considered either as PV modules combined with a cooling component that can deliver a useful thermal output (hot water or air), or as thermal collectors with PV cells incorporated into the design in order to generate additional electricity.
The evaporator section was in the shape of sunflowers to fully absorb sunlight, and the condenser section was distributed in a cold-water tube. The results indicated that the thermal efficiency of solar collector could reach 50% when the filling ratio was 50%. Fig. 40.
In contrast to solar hot water panels, they use a circulating fluid to displace heat to a separated reservoir. The first solar thermal collector designed for building roofs was patented by William H. Goettl and called the "Solar heat collector and radiator for building roof".
Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating. In non-concentrating collectors, the aperture area (i.e., the area that receives the solar radiation) is roughly the same as the absorber area (i.e., the area absorbing the radiation).
