With the hybrid solar panel you can get electricity to lower your electricity bill while having free hot water.
When two technologies are combined within a single product and both give the best results in terms of performance and utilization of renewable solar energy resources, they are called hybrid solar panels.
The hybrid solar panel is the best expression of the hybrid technique, where all the energy can be used without being wasted. Not everyone knows that the heat produced by a photovoltaic panel during operation, reduces its efficiency significantly. In fact, during the sunny months, most photovoltaic systems are being punished by the overheating of the panels with the consequent loss of performance in terms of energy produced.
The hybrid solar panel, thanks to its special heat exchanger system and independent of the solar panels, “captures” this excess heat and flows through a circuit where the solar fluid transfers it to a heat exchanger. Through this process, the solar cell is kept at a temperature very close to the ideal for the production of maximum power.
The recovered thermal energy can be used in different thermal systems to save energy.
Hybrid solar panels, due to their greater production of electricity from a photovoltaic panel of equal power, but also offers the advantage of being able to reduce the installed solar field, in addition to the no less important factors in a single system for Install a minor photovoltaic / thermal impact and therefore, the environment.
The advantages of this technology are:
Increase in electricity production
Production of hot water
Integration of low temperature heating
Heating swimming pools
Integration with heat pumps
Thawing and melting winter snow
Cooling of the solar field in the warmer seasons
Reduction of costs compared to a double (solar photovoltaic and solar thermal).
The least surfaces and the least environmental impact
Maximum safety during operation
Less aging of solar cells, due to the regulation of temperature.
Improve inverter operation and durability then increased and performance.
