The application of PVT technologies has significantly improved the efficiency of photovoltaic cells by addressing the problem associated with the incomplete absorption of incident sunlight from the solar spectrum , , , , , , .
With the heat-to-electricity ratio increase and the temperature of the heat exchanger decrease the overall performance of the system increases. The two most concentrated nanofluids which act as absorbing fluid in the configuration provide 9% more value than the same PV cell.
The functionality is derived from basic physics and the consideration that the bandgap of photovoltaics semiconductors can absorb only a limited part of the solar radiation. In the p–n junction, this part is converted into electric energy, while the remaining part of the solar radiation spectrum is transmitted through the solar cell.
