General Comparison of the Currently Available PV/T Types and Their Technical
Characteristics.
A general comparison of the four currently available PV/T types was made in
terms of their technical characteristics, as indicated in Table
1
. The overall module
efficiencies for different PV/T types were calculated on the basis of the same
external solar/weather conditions (i.e. typical weather condition on 22 December
