19 September 2011Efficient hybrid electric and thermal energy generation
We demonstrate a novel hybrid solar photovoltaic electrical and thermal energy cogeneration system with high
efficiency, at potentially reduced overall weight and size compared with current solar energy systems. The new system is
based on highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells and tubular water thermal receivers, incorporating holographic spectral
beam light guide concentrators resulting in a more cost-effective solution. Details of fabrication and preliminary
experimental testing results are presented.
