Abstract

A first, non-optirnised prototype of a combi-panel was built of a PV-Iarninate and a sheet-and-tube absorber.The thermal efficiency at zero reduced temperature was found to be 54%, along with 8.5% electrical efficiency. The results of the measurements were used to verify the results of the simulation-s. It was concluded that the simulations and the measurements corresponded sufficiently weIl. Then, the simulations were used to find the annual efficiency of a PYfT-system that was used for hot-water production in a Dutch household, for which 33% thermal and 6.7% electrical efficiency was found. Finally, the simulations were used to quantify the contribution of the various loss terms to the reduction in thermal efficiency of a PVfT-system with respect to a thermal collector.
