The efficiency of solar collector is the common parameter that normally computed when evaluating the performance of any solar drying system (Kumar et al., 2019, Leon et al., 2002). The solar collector efficiency is equivalent to the ratio of the useful energy gain to the incident solar energy over a particular time period.
solar energy systems in orde r to maximize SE availability. As a result, a solar collector that is both photovoltaic sun benefits. It is the combination of solar PV and STC that allows for the concurrent generatio n of e lectricity and heat while using half the space and incurring mini mal additional costs. water for house heating.
The sun's energy heats a fluid that is then pumped into a storage tank for hot water. The heat from the fluid heats the water, which then returns to collectors for solar energy. Solar collectors are regarded as one of the most cost-effective renewable energy sol utions . Just a few scientists ha ve looked into PV/T systems that
As assessed in the previous sections, hybrid solar collectors have gained an increasing attention in the research area given their benefits of thermal and electrical energy coproduction. However, the conversion efficiency is still unsatisfactory even though many research studies have been carried out for enhancing the overall performance.
Significant advantages of concentrating solar collectors include higher temperature, higher thermodynamic efficiency, and greater thermal efficiency, less material required for reflecting surface and economically viable.
The assessment of hybrid solar collectors using energetic, exergetic, economic and environmental effectiveness indicators, depending on their applications, is of great importance to accurately evaluate their overall performance. Thus, it is also valuable to identify the most beneficial applications for hybrid solar collectors.
