Abstract

Simultaneous generation of electrical and thermal energy from a solar based device known as Solar PV/T. Now a day’s many researchers are focusing on performance improvement of such PV/T. In this work performance variation of single PV/T were experimented in terms of glazed and unglazed. Experiments conducted in terms of four different cases and results were compared. Experimental result shows that efficiency of lower half covered PV/T is greater than upper half covered PV/T. Similarly efficiency unglazed PV/T system is greater than glazed PV/T system. Experimental results suggested glazed system during off summer season and unglazed system during summer season.
