Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020156598A1] A device (1) for a utilization of waste heat from solar photovoltaic panels (2) to increase their efficiency actively removes the waste heat from photovoltaic panels (2) to utilize it in two ways. The first way comprises a heat exchanger (5) supplying a heat pump (6) for further utilization of a part of the waste heat as such while the other way comprises a Peltier cell (8) to convert the rest of the waste heat to the additional electrical energy. An absorber (3) comprising a homogenizing plate (4) is installed to supply both the heat exchanger (5) and the Peltier cell (8) with the waste heat.
