Abstract

Hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems are envisioned to co-produce thermal energy and electricity by utilizing the full solar spectrum, something single junction PV cells do not do. Additionally, the need for cost effective storage becomes increasingly important as solar penetration increases. A concentrating hybrid PVT system has been modeled, built and, experimentally evaluated at the University of Tulsa using a novel nanoparticle based fluid that acts as the thermal absorber and optical filter. This paper presents on-sun experimental results from this collector.
