Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2013017677A2] The device according to the invention is a photovoltaic module with a heat exchanger, comprising: a plurality of panels consisting of photovoltaic cells; a bearing structure itself comprising a non-planar external surface forming an exposure face defining a channel with a flat central base bounded by two side walls, said structure being intended to be exposed to solar radiation and bearing the photovoltaic cell panels; and a heat transfer region defining a cavity having an internal surface intended to make contact with a heat-transfer fluid flowing in the cavity. The module converts solar radiation received into electricity and transfers the heat stored and produced to a heat-transfer fluid, which after its passage through the module flows through a fluid circuit comprising a heat exchanger. The non-planar nature of the exposure face allows the area available for capturing solar radiation and the electrical power produced to be increased for photovoltaic panels of a given footprint.
