Experimental Testing of Hydrophobic Microchannels, with and without Nanofluids, for Solar PV/T Collectors

Solar energy can be converted into useful energy via photovoltaic cells or with a photothermal absorber. While these technologies are well-developed and commercially viable, significant benefits can be realised by pulling these two technologies together in photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems which c...
