Abstract

The Hybrid PV/T solar system is a combination of the photovoltaic
(PV) module with a solar thermal collector. The system can provide electrical and thermal energies; and therefore increase both the total energy
output and the overall system efficiency. For the experiment, a modified
PV/T solar system was set with a water heat exchanger; so that excess
heat, which is generated in the system and can hinder the PV module
electrical efficiency, is removed upon reaching an optimal temperature.
At the same time, the thermal efficiency can be improved. Further analysis has been carried out using the statistical correlation method and decision tree based data mining approach.
