In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in hybrid PV-T
collectors and the wider systems within which they can be implemented, and assess the …

The present article sets out to examine the connection between energy transition and factors
associated with renewable energy sources, buildings and other sectors, placing emphasis …

The use of solar energy in recent years has reached a remarkable edge. The continuous
research for an alternative power source due to the perceived scarcity of fuel fossils is its …

A simulation model of finite differences describing a double-glass multi-crystalline
photovoltaic module has been developed and validated using experimental data from such …

In this paper, 26 alternative absorber-exchanger designs for hybrid PV-Thermal (PVT) solar
collectors are proposed and compared against a reference-case, commercial sheet-and …

This paper presents a comparative analysis of different battery charging strategies for off-
grid solar PV systems. The strategies evaluated include constant voltage charging, constant …

Among the solutions to the global energy problem, the utilisation of solar energy is, without a
doubt, one of the most encouraging ecological avenues. In a solar thermal system, the solar …

Over the last 30 years, a large amount of research about air PVT collectors has been carried
out, but the most investigated PVT technology in recent time is based on systems using …

The daily energy demand in public buildings has been on the rise, partly due to the intensive
use of building energy-comfort technologies. Hot water production, space heating and air …

In this paper an energy balance model and simulation results are presented for a generic
combined photovoltaic (PV) solar thermal (ST) system that incorporates phase change …
