A hybrid solar PV thermal (PVT) system using a tracking solar trough II

The Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic Thermal System using a Tracking Solar Trough converts solar energy into both electrical and heat. It concentrates the incoming solar radiance onto a solar module mounted with a cooling system with a parabolic reflector dish. This system had p...
