Experimental Performance Analysis of Solar Photovoltaic Thermal Collector
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Energy Engineering
Abstract
A solar photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) is a hybrid combination of solar photovoltaic (PV) collector and thermal collector. In this research paper, experimental analysis of the oscillatory type (PV/T) water collector has been done to find the efficiency of this type of system and also comparison of its electrical efficiency with simple photovoltaic panel. In this experiment, 160W of polycrystalline solar panel and 0.127m diameter of copper pipe are used to build solar photovoltaic thermal collector. Fluent flow is 0.5 liter per minute. In this condition, electrical efficiency is found 600 Wm-2 heat flux, which is 9.5% and maximum value of hot water output is 311K. Average thermal efficiency is about 21.5% for same condition.
