Photovoltaic Thermal System

The solar photovoltaic thermal system (PVT) facilitates conversion of incoming solar radiations into heat and electricity simultaneously. The beam split photovoltaic thermal system (BSPVT) is one of the PVT systems. In this system, the incoming solar beam is splitted and used separately for PV and thermal system. The feasibility of water, silicone oil, and coconut oil as spectrum filter for C–Si solar photovoltaic system is reported in the literature recently. However, the changes in the optical behavior of the liquids due to extended exposure to sunlight (aging effect) had not been considered in most of the previous studies. The current study includes the methodology for the selection of liquids for BSPVT systems, estimation of external quantum efficiency (EQE) of a solar cell using liquids, and the aging effect on the liquid spectrum filters. The spectral response of the solar cell is analyzed using BENTHAM, (PVE 300) for 300–1100 nm. In this study, it has been observed that the aging of silicone oil reduces the electrical performance of the solar cell. On the other hand, the aged coconut oil improves the electrical performance of the solar cell as compared to the fresh coconut oil spectrum filter.

Abstract Background: In this article, the potential applications of the solar photovoltaic thermal system have been discussed. The increasing cost and rapid depletion of conventional energy, researchers are optimizing the use of solar energy in residential and commercial purposes—the scope of solar energy, providing an alternative for residential and commercial power requirements. The average power requirement of a residential house is calculated with the help of power ratings. Hourly, daily, and monthly power requirement is calculated for designing the optimum size of solar photo voltaic thermal.Results: A stand-alone solar photovoltaic thermal system has been designed. For the sizing of the solar photovoltaic thermal system, meteorological data are collected through Synergy Enviro and PVWatts Calculator. The mathematical calculation and simulation study has been performed to estimate the expected power generation from the PVT. The cash flow and payback period of PVT are calculated. The total cost of installation was rupees 114450/- and the payback period was 9 years approximately.Conclusions: The forecasted output of solar photovoltaic thermal has been calculated based on solar radiation value obtained from different sources. The significant finding of the present study are: The maximum and the minimum electrical load was approximately 7.7 kWh per day in summer and about 2.5 kWh per day in winter. The maximum and minimum solar radiation at the installed site was 7.08 kWh / m 2 / day and 3.32 kWh / m 2 / day. The maximum electrical power calculated by installed solar module is 2466 kWh per year.
