PV-T Hybrid Collector

PV-T Hybrid Collector 580W - Photovoltaic-Thermal Hybrid Collector

Product Introduction

The PV-T Hybrid Collector 580W is a revolutionary photovoltaic-thermal hybrid collector that perfectly integrates efficient photovoltaic power generation with heat energy recovery. The top layer features 144 N-type TOPCon double-glass half-sheet cells, while the bottom layer is a high-efficiency copper tube plate heat exchanger, achieving dual output of electricity and heat energy on the same area. Each panel can generate 580W of electricity and recover up to 1180W of heat energy. The system efficiency exceeds 80%, far exceeding either a single-function photovoltaic panel or collector. The product size is 2279×1134×37 mm, and the weight is 39 kg. It is an ideal choice for maximizing space efficiency. 

Operating principle

The core of this product lies in the integrated photovoltaic and solar thermal technology. When solar radiation hits the high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells on the upper layer of the panel, some of the energy is converted into direct current electricity. The remaining heat that traditional photovoltaic panels cannot utilize will cause the temperature of the battery to rise and its efficiency to decrease. However, the copper tube plate flow channel on the back of this product continuously removes heat through circulating fluids (propylene glycol antifreeze or water/ethylene glycol mixture) to achieve active cooling. The recovered heat is output through heat exchangers and used to heat water or air. This "thermal power generation" design not only improves the power generation efficiency but also realizes the full-spectrum cascade utilization of solar energy. 

Technical Advantages

1. Active cooling, more efficient power generation: The rear fluid circulation removes waste heat, reducing the battery's operating temperature by 10-15°C compared to conventional photovoltaic panels. This results in an increase of over 5.2% in relative power output, especially in high-temperature summer conditions. 

2. Dual-energy output, space utilization doubled: 580W electricity + 1180W heat energy. The system's overall energy utilization rate exceeds 80%. The total energy output per unit area is 15-35% higher than that of traditional photovoltaic. 

3. Adaptation to extreme cold, stable operation throughout the year: Equipped with 1.2L propylene glycol antifreeze, ensuring that the pipeline does not freeze even in extremely low temperatures as low as -40℃, and operating stably throughout the year. 

4. High-efficiency heat-absorbing coating: The core of the heat-absorbing panel is coated with a selective absorption coating, with an absorption ratio of >95% and an emission ratio of <5%. This maximizes the capture of solar radiation and reduces heat loss. 

5. Long-life weather-resistant design: Three-layer encapsulation protection + 99.99% inert gas filling. Passed salt spray and ammonia corrosion tests. Design life of 25 years.
