In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in hybrid PV-T
collectors and the wider systems within which they can be implemented, and assess the …

Cooling the operating surface is a key operational factor to take into consideration to
achieve higher efficiency when operating solar photovoltaic systems. Proper cooling can …

The commercial solar cells are currently less efficient in converting solar radiation into
electricity. During electric power convention, most of the absorbed energy is dissipated to …

Solar desalination has emerged as a sustainable solution for addressing global water
scarcity in the energy-water nexus, particularly for remote areas in developing countries …

The present article is a review about PVT (photovoltaic/thermal) investigations with
emphasis on studies which include environmental issues about PVT technology. The …

The photovoltaic thermal (PVT) module can produce electricity and heat simultaneously,
while its outlet temperature is usually not high and might not be able to meet the requirement …

This study investigated experimentally the thermal performance of a Photovoltaic-thermal
(PV/T) and thermoelectric (TE) system using the application of two nanofluids. Single-walled …

Thermal absorbers and their integration methods are critical to solar photovoltaic/thermal
(PV/T) modules. These two elements directly influence the cooling effort of PV layers and as …

Photovoltaic panels are semiconductor materials having electrical efficiency in between 4%
and 46% depending upon its material. About 50% of total solar radiation absorb by …

Increasing urbanisation and population growth have caused depletion of freshwater
resources leading to exacerbation of water scarcity in remote communities. Whilst much …
