Abstract: Concentrated photovoltaic/thermal hybrid systems are a combination of concentrated photovoltaics and photovoltaic/thermal hybrid systems which capture waste heat for later application. Higher concentrations lead to higher energy fluxes over smaller areas which is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, less photovoltaic material is required, instead using relatively cheap optics. This allows more efficient types of PV material to be used effectively. Secondly, the concentrated heat flux easily allows for a high outlet temperature which in turn increases the applicability.
