Abstract

A PV/T solar collector, wherein a photovoltaic module and a solar collector are combined into a single component, is considered to be highly reliable, durable, and economically feasible. Additionally, zero-energy buildings have recently drawn significant attention. In this study, the dynamic behavior and energy performance of a PV/T solar hot water system employed in a twenty-storey apartment were analyzed. The said system comprises three 25 EA (a total of 75 EA) PV/T solar collectors and a 15.6 ton storage tank. The TRNSYS 17 software was employed as a simulation tool for conducting the analysis, and the national reference standard weather data (TMY3) of Daejeon, South Korea was incorporated as meteorological data. The obtained results indicate that if the available space is limited and if the aspect of energy efficiency is considered, the usage of PV/T solar hot water systems that simultaneously produce thermal energy and electrical energy can be more advantageous than the usage of standard photovoltaic or solar hot water systems.
