Photovoltaic Thermal Solar Collector for Autonomous and Energy Cluster Modes

The advantages of combining the thermal and photovoltaic parts in one energy-generating device are shown. The theoretical foundations of the construction of a photovoltaic thermal solar collector are highlighted. Possible designs of a photovoltaic heat collector are shown, in particular with an open and closed heat storage part. The possibility of integrating a photovoltaic thermal collector with an automatic control system is shown for effective operation and joint thermal and electrical regulation in autonomous mode. The possibility of combining photovoltaic thermal collectors into a cluster is shown. The necessary parameters for coordination with the network are noted. Conclusions made.
