The hybrid PVT collector technology can be a solution to improve the energy yields per unit surface area of a solar collector. The water-type PVT approach is particularly suitable for the hot or warm climatic application. The PVT system can reduce the heat-loss from the collector when the solar cells act as selective absorbers.
Operation of a forced circulation solar system
A forced circulation solar system is a solar thermal installation in which water circulates within the circuit driven by a pump.. Unlike solar installations with a thermosiphon, this system does not move hot water to the highest point of the closed circuit, but rather makes it go down from the solar collectors to where the storage tank is located.. In many cases it is not
