Abstract

The structure of a flat-plate photovoltaic-thermal system and its thermal circuit are considered. A method is proposed for the determination of heat losses and the temperatures of the front layers of a photovoltaic-thermal system with the specified operation conditions and a known temperature of the absorbing surface.
