Abstract

In this paper,a novel hybrid photovoltaic/thermovoltaic solar system(PV/TV) was designed with PV cells,heat collector and thermoelectric generator.This PV/TV system can collect heat from solar panels so as to reduce its surface temperature,and then to generate electricity using the temperature difference technology and devices.Simulation experiments were conducted in Beijing.The performance of this system from April to October was analyzed,and the application of PV/TV system in photovoltaic building was discussed primarily.The results indicated that the generating efficiency per unit area of this PV/TV system was 5%~15% higher than that of a pure PV system.
