Abstract :
The hybrid photovoltaic thermal solar collector (PV/T) offer an interesting alternative to photovoltaic and thermal collectors installed separately, because the absorbed solar radiation is converted into heat and electricity. In this paper a new configuration of hybrid solar thermal collector is designed. We began measuring temperature, electrical power and its influence in a period of time, these measures have enabled us to meet the electrical and thermal characteristics of this new collector. The results of the experimental study are presented.
