| 摘要 |
This invention describes a combination photovoltaic (PV) and thermal heat collector solar panel that both generates electricity and provides residual heat energy to a transfer medium. The panel is comprised of PV panel material also used as the thermal absorber. The sun-facing surface of the combination absorber generates DC current and directly beneath this is a thermal heat collection system comprised of tubular passages for flow of the heat absorbing fluid (such as water) there through. The panel may have one or more thermal insulating clear cover(s) spaced above the absorber and thermal insulation underneath the absorber plate. The collector may be a flat plate collector or a concentrating type collector with a combination absorber at the focal point and may have a single or dual axis solar tracking system.
