PVT-E Photovoltaic Thermal Collector

The PVT-E Photovoltaic Thermal Collector is a hybrid solar module designed to generate electricity while recovering useful thermal energy from the PV module. By combining photovoltaic power generation with solar heat collection, it makes better use of the available solar resource within a single installation area.

PVT-E is suitable for renewable energy systems that require both electrical power and thermal energy, including low-carbon buildings, hot water systems, heating applications and commercial solar projects.

More Energy from the Same Solar Area

A conventional PV module mainly converts sunlight into electricity, while heat generated during operation is not fully utilized. PVT-E adds a thermal collection layer to recover this heat and convert it into useful thermal energy.

The integrated module can provide both electrical and thermal output, with a comprehensive solar utilization rate of up to 60%. Thermal energy output can reach approximately 2 times the electrical output, making the system particularly suitable where installation space and solar resources need to be used efficiently.

Advanced PV-Thermal Integration

PVT-E adopts vacuum bonding technology between the photovoltaic and thermal components. This structure helps reduce thermal resistance and improves the transfer of heat generated by the PV module.

The thermal system uses a high-purity aluminum heat transfer plate and optimized internal channels to promote even heat distribution. Module temperature uniformity can reach approximately ±1°C, supporting consistent thermal collection and stable system operation.

Temperature Management for Better PV Performance

PV module temperature can affect electrical performance. PVT-E incorporates an intelligent temperature management system to help control operating temperatures and reduce the possibility of hot spots.

High-precision sensors monitor temperature conditions and assist with thermal regulation. This design helps maintain a more stable operating environment for the photovoltaic components while improving the coordination between electrical and thermal output.

High-Efficiency Photovoltaic Component

The electrical generation side uses N-type TOPCon monocrystalline solar cells with multi-busbar technology.

The cell configuration is designed for efficient photovoltaic conversion and stable power generation across different operating conditions. Combined with the thermal management structure, PVT-E can simultaneously utilize solar energy for electricity and heat.

Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use

For outdoor solar installations, the PVT-E module features an anodized 6063-T5 aluminum alloy frame with a tensile strength of up to 180 MPa. Weather-resistant sealant and IP65 waterproof protection provide additional protection for outdoor operation.

The construction is designed to withstand exposure to rain, sand and other environmental conditions encountered in solar installations.

Smart Energy Integration

PVT-E can be integrated into building energy systems where electrical and thermal energy need to be coordinated. Its intelligent control functions support real-time thermal energy adjustment and energy demand matching.

For larger renewable energy projects, the system can also connect with building energy management platforms to support more efficient energy operation and reduce maintenance requirements.
