Analysis of Conventional and Hybrid Solar Low-Power Photovoltaic Systems

The conventional and photovoltaic thermal systems are the subject of research. This research focuses on the comparative analysis of conventional solar energy systems and photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate both photovoltaic and thermal energy generation in a single unit. Conventional solar systems, which primarily consist of either photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation or solar thermal collectors for heat production, are examined for their individual performance, energy efficiency, and application in various sectors. In contrast, PVT systems, which combine the benefits of both technologies, offer a promising solution for maximizing energy output by simultaneously producing electricity and heat from the same solar collector surface. The study investigates the operational characteristics, efficiency improvements, and potential applications of these systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
