Instead of converting sunlight directly into electricity, as photovoltaics does, solar thermal harnesses the sun's energy to heat a fluid called a heat carrier and then uses that heat to generate electricity or provide heat for industrial or domestic applications.
With the use of solar PV technology, the most researched way of supplying both electricity and heat is through the use of solar PVT systems , . A solar PVT system consists of a PV panel where the heat generated by the PV panel while in operation is extracted by water, air, or a coolant, as shown in Fig. 3.
Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable form of power derived from the radiant energy of the sun. This energy is harnessed through various technologies, primarily through photovoltaic cells and solar thermal systems.
