Summary:In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the theoretical performance and evaluation of a hybrid PV/thermal (PV/T) collector based on dual heat extraction operation a function of climatic and design parameters. On the first hand, the different configurations of hybrid collectors are considered for the present study which are defined as unglazed PV/T air heaters, with and without tedlar, PVT hybrid water collector, in the second hand two configurations with dual extraction operation (water and air as heat removal fluid) are presented which are defined as dual PV/T model with tedlar, dual hybrid PV/T without tedlar. Analytical expressions for the temperatures of solar cells, back surface of the module, outlet air, and outlet water of those configurations have been derived. Numerical computations have been carried out for composite climate and the results for different configurations have been compared. Our results clearly show the direct impact of various parameters, in particular the solar radiation, ambient temperature, mass flow rate on the variation of outlet and solar cell of the collector.
