A Study on the Characteristics of the Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic/thermal Integrated System
Abstract This paper mainly introduces a comprehensive solar energy utilization system with low-CPC and polycrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic components. Outdoor experiments have been made to test the electrical efficiency, heat efficiency and their changes of the system with fixed temperature of outlet water and different sunshine conditions. Besides, this paper also compares the effects of outlet water at various temperatures on the efficiency of the whole system as well as the temperatures and flow rate responses with different PID parameters. Through analysis of these experimental data, the most desirable temperature of outlet water and PID parameters have been obtained in CPC-PV/T Hybrid Thermal-electric System, thus providing references for relevant experimental research.
