This study aims to compare how well different designs of combined photovoltaic-thermal collectors work in terms electricity and heat production. One big benefit collectors, compared regular solar panels, is that they cool down the module make it produce more efficiently. In simple terms, using this method produces a device, which means one needs less space install collector module. recent study, scientists looked at panel also used generate performed. They tested water keep cool. To understand shapes sizes affect performance panel, we computer program called MATLAB create models panel. The research shows sheet tube design with round or rectangular shape most efficient overall performance. Moreover, when glass cover present, causes be while making efficiency energy higher.
