Photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar system: Experimental measurements, performance analysis and economic assessment

The results showed that the PV/T solar system can produce about 1362 kWh/year of electricity for kWp installed, while yearly heat generation may vary between 443 and 267 kWh/m2 depending on mean inlet temperature of the cooling fluid. The paper also reports a techno-economic comparison of the PV/T solar plant with separate photovoltaic and flat plate solar thermal.
