Are you interested in solar energy? If you are, you must have read about solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV). If you have installed a photovoltaic system, you must have noticed it not to generate the amount of power mentioned in its datasheet. A major issue that PV suffers from is its temperature, which causes a drop in its power. Among the solutions to this issue is to use active cooling methods, such as the hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system. These systems can produce electrical and thermal energy simultaneously and within same area. The thermal collector serves to cool down the PV surface temperature, which negatively affects the PV efficiency, to reclaim the efficiency or bring it back close to standard testing conditions value. Moreover, the thermal collector will convey this heat using a working fluid and extract it as thermal energy. On the other hand, the electrical power generated from the PV can be utilized in standalone or grid-connected configuration. Moreover, the book presents a novel PV/T collector which can utilize nanofluids and nano-Phase Change Material (PCM) to enhance its performance in tropical climate conditions. The methods used to develop the heat transfer and energy balance equations are presented as well. PV/T collector numerical simulation using MATLAB and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) was also presented. Finally, the approach of life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is presented to evaluate PV/T with nanofluid and nano-PCM, economically. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3537 606 $aSolar energy 606 $aEnergy storage 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aEnergy harvesting 606 $aSolar Thermal Energy 606 $aMechanical and Thermal Energy Storage 606 $aThermal Process Engineering 606 $aImpact of Nanotechnology 606 $aNanoscale Design, Synthesis and Processing 606 $aEnergy Harvesting 615 0$aSolar energy. 615 0$aEnergy storage. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aEnergy harvesting. 615 14$aSolar Thermal Energy. 615 24$aMechanical and Thermal Energy Storage. 615 24$aThermal Process Engineering. 615 24$aImpact of Nanotechnology. 615 24$aNanoscale Design, Synthesis and Processing. 615 24$aEnergy Harvesting. 676 $a621.31244 700 $aAl-Waeli$b Ali H.
