Experimental study of a solar concentratory module with a heat-photo-electric receiver

The use of thermal photovoltaic solar modules and installations provides for the integrated energy supply of remote agricultural facilities to provide them with both electrical and thermal energy, which is supplied to the facilities in the form of hot water for hot water supply and heating.The development of solar generation on the basis of parabolic cylindrical concentrator modules is actively conducted in many countries. Systems based on solar concentrator modules achieve significant performance in regions where direct insolation is particularly high. To increase the efficiency of using solar radiation, concentrators are equipped with special tracking systems that provide orientation of concentrators in the direction of the Sun.The extension of the average daily time of active work of the hub without physically increasing its angular aperture allows the use of louver heliostats.The paper presents the results of an experimental study of a model of a concentrator solar module with a louvered heliostat with an angular aperture of 36˚ and a thermal-photoelectric receiver of solar radiation. It has been established that the thermal efficiency of the thermal photoelectric receiver is within 60 ... 70%. The ratio of the thermal power of the PVT- receiver to the electric one with the values of direct insolation of 800 ± 100 W / m2 is in the range from 1: 1 to 5: 1.
