Product Introduction
Our PVT (Photovoltaic-Thermal) solar collector combines monocrystalline silicon cells with a copper or aluminum thermal absorber beneath. It produces electricity from the top surface while capturing waste heat through the rear fluid channel, delivering both power and hot water.
By actively cooling the PV cells, PVT panels maintain higher electrical efficiency in hot climates and extend cell lifetime. The collected thermal energy can be used for domestic hot water, space heating, or industrial pre-heating.
PVT systems are ideal for buildings with limited roof space, agrivoltaic greenhouses, and decentralized energy projects that want to maximize renewable yield per square meter.

Item Details
Dual Energy Output
- Electricity
- DC power from the front PV cells feeds inverter or battery.
- Heat
- Fluid behind absorber removes heat for water or space heating.
- Total yield
- Combined electrical + thermal efficiency up to 70%.
Cooling Benefit
- Cell temperature
- Active cooling keeps cells 10-20°C lower than standard PV.
- Power gain
- Typical 5-10% more kWh per year in hot climates.
- Degradation
- Lower operating temperature slows long-term power decay.
System Integration
- Inverter
- Grid-tie or hybrid inverter sized to PVT DC rating.
- Thermal loop
- Pump station + tank sized to heat demand.
- Monitoring
- Optional remote monitoring for both PV and thermal output.
