PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels: Double Your Solar Energy Harvest
PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels: Double Your Solar Energy Harvest
Are you ready to revolutionize your energy production? At Soletks Group, we're proud to introduce our cutting-edge PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels, a game-changing solution that maximizes your solar energy harvest. By combining photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies into one efficient panel, you can generate both electricity and heat, doubling your energy output from a single installation. Let's explore how these panels work and the incredible benefits they offer.
What are PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels?
PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels are innovative devices designed to simultaneously generate electricity and thermal energy from sunlight. Unlike traditional solar panels that only produce electricity, PVT panels also capture the excess heat generated by the PV cells, converting it into usable thermal energy. This is achieved by integrating a thermal collector, often with a heat exchanger, behind or beneath the PV cells.
This design not only provides two forms of energy but also enhances the performance of the PV cells. As Enersion reports, the active cooling of PV cells increases their efficiency and lifespan, which can degrade at high temperatures.
How PVT Panels Work
Photovoltaic (PV) Layer: The top layer contains PV cells that convert sunlight into DC electricity.
Thermal Collector: Behind the PV cells, a thermal collector captures and removes excess heat.
Heat Exchanger: The captured heat is transferred to a fluid (usually water or glycol) and can be used for domestic hot water, space heating, or other thermal applications.
Key Benefits of Soletks PVT Panels
Choosing PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels from Soletks Group offers numerous advantages over traditional solar solutions. Here are some key benefits:
Higher Overall Efficiency: PVT panels can achieve combined energy efficiencies of up to 89%, significantly higher than standalone PV panels.
Increased Energy Output: They can produce up to 4 times more usable energy from the same roof area compared to conventional PV panels, with only a modest increase in system cost.
Longer Lifespan: Active heat removal helps PV cells operate at lower temperatures, extending their operational life from 30 to as much as 50 years.
Space Optimization: PVT is ideal for buildings with limited roof space, as both electricity and heat are generated from the same footprint.
High design pressure, large area, fewer connection points. our Single Panel Area is 11.4–15.0 m².
Applications of PVT Technology
Our PVT Solar Thermal Hybrid Panels are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including:
Domestic and commercial buildings requiring both electricity and hot water.
DHW preheating: Our panels efficiently preheat domestic hot water, reducing reliance on traditional heating systems. For instance, a system with an annual heat demand of 700 kWh/a can achieve an annual solar contribution of 410 kWh/a, resulting in a solar fraction of 59%.
Swimming pool heating systems.
Industrial applications such as pasteurization, car washing, and bottle cleaning.
Integration with heat pumps, especially ground-source or brine-water heat pumps, for highly efficient heating and cooling solutions.
