In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in hybrid PV-T
collectors and the wider systems within which they can be implemented, and assess the …

Global warming, climate change, and resource depletion have forced us to reconsider
energy usage and efficiencies over the last few decades. Residential and commercial …

BIPV windows are the most suitable alternative to conventional windows currently available
today. They offer thermal insulation and can generate electricity from the embedded solar …

This paper reviews and summarizes application of fluids and nanofluids in photovoltaic
thermal systems (PVT). The numerical, analytical and experimental based literatures are …

Adaptive facades provide opportunities for significant reductions in building energy use and
CO2 emissions, while at the same time having a positive impact on the quality of the indoor …

The use of photovoltaics has spread widely, and government agencies have begun
adopting plans to deploy plants with large capacities, due to their environmental …

Building-integrated photovoltaics/thermal (BIPV/T) systems are capable of generating
electricity and heat simultaneously. Several strategies have been proposed to integrate PV …

Building sector is responsible for approximately 40% of global carbon dioxide emission.
Accordingly, any measures for reducing building energy consumption or providing it with …

The present article provides an overview about photovoltaic/thermal systems categorised by
the temperature of the working fluid: Low-temperature (lower than 60° C), medium …

This paper presents a numerical model regarding the passive cooling of PV panels through
perforated and non-perforated heat sinks. A typical PV panel was studied in a fixed position …
