ABSTRACT Photovoltaic (PV) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity, while photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity and heat. In this study the authors compared the performance between the two systems namely PV and PV/T. In the PV/T system, an aluminum plate is added as an absorber, and uses copper pipes as a heat sink, and the wh…
