Abstract :
In this paper, an attempt to investigate the energy harvesting of normal photovoltaic modules and hybrid photovoltaic thermal water collector (PVTw) modules is presented. The comparative analysis of electrical and thermal energy performance had been presented. The outdoor experimental have been conducted with Sanyo 210W monocrystalline PV modules in city of Kuala Lumpur.
