Review on Solar Photovoltaic Thermal Power System

  • Mr. Nilesh Dhokane, Dr. S. Ramesh

Abstract

For the sustainable development of any country, electricity is the basic need for current civilization. Without hampering the environment, generation of electricity is very essential. Solar energy is completely natural, it is considered as clean energy source. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable sources of energy for the present needs. Solar Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) system is a hybrid system used to produce both thermal and electrical energy. Moreover PVT collector does not cause any pollution during its operation and does not have any moving parts in it. This helps increasing the reliability and durability of the equipment.  In this paper, we have studied the different types of solar hybrid photovoltaic thermal collectors with different cooling channel cross sections were analyzed to study the effect of air and water cooling on the performance of solar hybrid photovoltaic thermal system.
