 Photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) technology – The future energy technologyMohd Yusof Othman, Adnan Ibrahim, Goh Li Jin, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan and Kamaruzzaman Sopian Renewable Energy, 2013, vol. 49, issue C, 171-174 Abstract: Solar energy is one of renewable energy sources which have potential for future energy applications. New technology developments in solar energy utilization are expected to result in the improvement of the photovoltaic performance with lower production cost. This will increase the demand and viability for commercial applications. The current popular technology converts solar energy into electricity and heat separately. The photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) hybrid system is designed to generate thermal and electrical energy simultaneously. It is well known that using a hybrid system can eliminate the need for external source of electrical energy. This paper presents research and development activity being carried out at Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in order to realise the technology.
