ENERGY-EFFICIENT HYBRID SOLAR COLLECTORS FOR PASSIVE BUILDING

One of the key challenges in modern energy systems is providing heat for energy-efficient buildings using renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy. Due to the limited space for installing solar collectors on buildings, integrating solar heating systems into the external structures of buildings is a promising approach. This article discusses the scientific aspects of the application of the main types of solar collectors, as well as their classification. The authors propose a design for a hybrid thermal and photovoltaic solar collector and present a methodology for calculating the thermal characteristics of a heating system using such a collector. The article provides an analysis of the thermal processes in hybrid solar collectors integrated into transparent facades of buildings and structures, focusing on determining the efficiency coefficient of such devices. The data presented in the article demonstrate that the mathematical model of heat exchange processes in the hybrid solar collector requires further experimental research.
