Abstract Considered as the widespread renewable energy, solar energy is used to produce the electricity and heat for
carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. However, the photo-electric conversion efficiency will decrease with
the increase of cells temperature. To solve this problem, a water-type hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar
system has been designed and tested in Hong Kong. The outdoor experiment proceeded all days in 6 months
with three different operating modes. The data of selected 33 days were used to analyze the performance of the
system. The results showed that the thermal efficiencies were 33.6%, 52%, and 48.3%… More >
