Heat recovery potential and electrical performances in-field investigation on a hybrid PVT module

The novelty of the present study lies in the dual theoretical and experimental approach, leading to a validated non-steady-state mockup, easily adjustable to extend the analysis to PV modules arrays for residential applications. Furthermore, the use of an infrared camera, typically confined to post-manufacturing quality control, allows here a continuous monitoring of the module thermal field, key to evaluate the temperature effect on the module performances both in steady and unsteady conditions.
