A Study on the Solar-Thermal Performance in PV/T System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the thermal equilibrium between the PV panels and the glazing cover of PV/T system, the influence of the spacing between PV panels and glazing cover on the solar-thermal efficiency is discussed. The heat release and solar-heat conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panels, under different plate spacing, in the PV/T systems in summer are calculated, according to the typical annual meteorological parameters of Tianjin area. The results show that the photo-thermal efficiency of the PV/T system can be improved by appropriate setup of the plate spacing, and the optimal plate spacing is affected by the temperature of photovoltaic panels.
