AN EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC THERMAL COLLECTOR AND PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
Keywords:
photovoltaic, thermal, solarAbstract
All over the world, photovoltaic technology is being used to generate electricity due to its
economic and environmental advantages. Photovoltaic (PV) and photovoltaic thermal (PV/T)
systems are widely used in residential, commercial, and industries. This is because PV and PV/T
generate solar heat and electricity essentially free of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and are
considered a green technology that supplies renewable electricity and heat to residential and
commercial buildings. This paper presents a simple experimental work and results for the
photovoltaic thermal collector compared to the photovoltaic. It is comprised of the PV and PV/T
description as well as followed by the results tabulation. The analysis methodology is done in
simple Excel software where it is illustrated the significant performance of PV and PV/T compared
to the PV where it is believed that it can give more benefits to the residential and commercial
building to utilize the PV/T as one of their energy supply systems.
