Hybrid Solar Panels Dimensioning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When configuring and sizing hybrid solar panels, it is crucial to align the heat load with your heat pump’s energy output throughout the year. This alignment must be ensured by using a corresponding control system. By running simulations with different configuration options early in the project, you can avoid costly sizing errors and potential problems such as freezing or overheating of your ground loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Are Hybrid Solar Panels Used and What Are Their Advantages?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid solar panels, also called PV-T panels, generate both hot water and electricity simultaneously. This combination is suitable for a wide range of applications, including district heating networks, commercial and industrial buildings. Additionaly, PV-T panels are also suitable for single-family and multi-family buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing a PVT system, it is important to determine how many PVT collectors are required to cover the heat load. Polysun accurately calculates the heat and electricity yields for each time period of the year and thus enables the optimal dimensioning of all components of a PVT system including heat pumps and geothermal loops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Energy Efficiency<\/h3> <\/div>\n
\n

Hybrid solar panels combine the generation of electric power and thermal energy, delivering higher energy yields compared to standard photovoltaic (PV) systems. Water runs through the panels, absorbing heat and cooling the solar cells on hot days. This allows the solar cells to operate at lower temperatures, thus increasing electricity yields<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The thermal energy from hybrid solar panels can be utilized to regenerate seasonal ice storage or ground sources, ensuring efficient and sustainable system operation. This makes PVT technology an excellent choice for integration with geothermal energy solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The simultaneous production of electricity and hot water with PV-T (Photovoltaic Thermal) collectors is suitable for various applications, for each of which the number of PV-T collectors must be determined. Polysun supports you with a comprehensive product database of over 70 PVT collectors from well-known manufacturers. Using key data such as nominal power, efficiency and temperature coefficients, the heat and electricity yields can be accurately calculated. This ensures that the size of your PVT collectors is optimised for the size of your heat pump, avoiding costly sizing errors. Whether it’s a detached house or a heating network, Polysun can be used to simulate all possible types of PVT systems:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
