Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012026901A2] In this PV-T collector/panel which is a combination of photovoltaic (PV) cells and Textile - Based Air Heater Solar Collectors (our patent application with no TR 2009 00196), at the inlet side of the collectors at the area close to the floor photovoltaic cells (9) are placed instead of some part of the textile surface (fabric, felt) (6). At the inlet part of the upper compartment of the collector, the compartment between the transparent upper layer (3) / the textile surface (6), the temperature of the air increases due to cooling of the photovoltaic cells and due to the greenhouse effect in the collector box. As this warm air passes through the hot textile surface (fabric) to the textile surface (6) / floor (2) lower compartment, due to diagonally placement of the photovoltaic cells and of the textile surface (fabric), its temperature increases even more. Because in the hybrid (PV-T) collectors according to the invention, both the cooling of the photovoltaic cells and therefore increasing the efficiency of theirs as high as 10-20%, and hot air at higher temperatures (= 50°C) with high flow rate can be obtained, the total (electrical + heat) energy efficiency of these hybrid (PV-T) panels / collectors exceeds 80%.
