Analysis of a vacuum-based photovoltaic thermal collector

Analysis of a vacuum-based photovoltaic thermal collector

In this study, a new design of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collector is proposed. This design uses a vacuum layer above the silicon wafer and not exists in the traditional PV/T collector. This layer is used to decrease the heat loss from the top surface of the PV/T collector. The analysis is conduct...
