A laminated photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) module for a PV/T hybrid solar collector comprising a cooler/absorber and a photovoltaic unit. The cooler/absorber includes at least one flat surface with raised peripheral edges and is adapted to function as a mould for a photovoltaic laminate structure. The photovoltaic unit includes a photovoltaic laminate structure including: a first layer of a first laminate material moulded on the flat surface of the cooler/absorber, wherein the first laminate material is electrically insulating and has a high thermal conductivity; a plurality of photovoltaic cells positioned on the first layer of laminate material; and a second layer of a second laminate material moulded on and substantially covering the photovoltaic cells, wherein the second laminate material is transparent and has a high heat resistance. |
