Solar panels combined with photovoltaics

PVT collectors combine the generation of solar electricity and heat in a single component, and thus achieve a higher overall efficiency and better utilization of the than conventional PV modules. Photovoltaic cells typically reach an electrical efficiency between 15% and 20%, while the largest share of the (65% - 70%) is converted into hea. Hybrid solar panels, or PVT solar panels, are a combination of solar photovoltaic panel and solar thermal panels in one module. A hybrid solar PVT module can therefore produce both electricity and heat simultaneously

Floating solar panels and photovoltaics

Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are mounted on a structure that floats. The structures that hold the solar panels usually consist of plastic buoys and cables. They are then placed on a body of water. Typically, these bodies of water are reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds.
