Abstract
Solar PV-T is a hybrid system that combines solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems to provide electricity and heat at the same time. This article presents a method to study the thermal and electrical characteristics of collectors. Measure air inlet and outlet temperature, thermal efficiency, electrical efficiency, and overall system efficiency in Jaipur, India weather conditions. This article also performed an exergy analysis. Exergy is the available low-grade energy that can be used for conversion. It is found that the total efficiency varies between 30-60% and the maximum exergetic efficiency is 9.72%. The results show that compared to separate solar thermal and photovoltaic collectors, more energy can be obtained per unit area.
