Integration of Thermal and Photovoltaic Solar Systems to Investigate Efficiency
Poster 133
-
Generation of clean, efficient power is the challenge of the century. Solar powered devices are gaining in popularity as the technology advances and becomes more affordable.
-
Combining solar technologies is a growing field of research
-
This project combines two popular solar devices: a photovoltaic panel to produce electricity, and a solar collector to heat water. The result is a standalone unit which uses only the sun’s energy to create flowing hot water.
-
The hot water generated has uses in desalination processes like HDH (humidification dehumidification) or MEH (multiple effect humidification), heating and humidification processes, and for household requirements.
