Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018, vol. 92, issue C, 848-882

Abstract: Combined solar photovoltaic-thermal systems (PVT) facilitate conversion of solar radiations into electricity and heat simultaneously. A significant amount of work has been carried out on these systems since 1970. Different PVT systems have been invented in the last thirty years. Several theoretical, mathematical, numerical and experimental models are introduced by many investigators across the world. The present article gives a broad classification and review of published research work on these systems. The article mostly covers the experimental work carried out on the different types of PVT systems in the last decade. The latest technology of liquid spectrum filters for PVT systems are also explored in depth.
