Irradiations incident on the photovoltaic module are converted only 15–20% into electrical energy and remaining are transformed into heat and drop electrical efficiency. Therefore, to harness both the thermal and electrical energy, hybrid photovoltaic thermal system is an optimum option. Moreover, p...
