Abstract
The photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector/system is an integration of PV cells and photothermal technology which can, therefore, translate solar irradiation into electric energy and heat energy simultaneously. PV/T has been extensively explored, and a considerable amount of researches has been carried out during the last decades. Among the proposed studies, a water-based PV/T system is highly complimented because it is able to achieve a higher overall efficiency (Daghigh et al. in Renew Sust Energ Rev 15:4156–4170, 2011). However, despite some progress has been made, at least two major obstacles, which are frozen and corrosion problems, must be overcome when a water-based PV/T system is working in winter or high-latitude areas.
