The yield of different combined PV-thermal collector designs
HA Herbert Zondag,de Dw Douwe Vries,van Wgj Wim Helden,van Rjc Ronald Zolingen,van Aa Anton Steenhoven +4 more
TL;DR: Nine different designs of combined PV-thermal collectors were evaluated and the channel-below-transparent-PV design gives the best efficiency, but since the annual efficiency of the PV-on-sheet-and-tube design in a solar heating system was only 2% worse while it is easier to manufacture, this design was considered to be a good alternative.
