Samenvatting:
A photovoltaic/thermal
(PVT) panel is a combination of photovoltaic cells with a solar thermal
collector, forming one device that converts solar radiation
into electricity and heat simultaneously. In general, two types of PVT can be distinguished:
glass-covered PVT collectors, which produce high-temperature heat but
have a slightly lower electrical yield, and uncovered PVT panels, which
produce relatively low-temperature heat but have a somewhat higher electrical
performance. In this work, two prototypes of an uncovered PVT panel
have been manufactured. Both the electrical and thermal performance
of these prototypes have been measured: the former in a flash test measurement,
the latter in an outdoor test setup. The electrical module efficiency
of the prototypes has been found to be 11.2%, which is as expected.
The thermal efficiency at zero reduced temperature has been found to
be 77%, with a heat loss coefficient of 23 W/m2K. Both
these numbers are higher than could be expected based on numerical modelling
performed in earlier work. A more detailed comparison is necessary to
explain this differences.
