How a Solar Hybrid PVT works

How a solar hybrid works

A cooled solar panel produces more electricity

A solar panel is combined with a thermal component, creating a solar hybrid. The solar hybrid is cooled with a cold liquid that is pumped up via the geothermal heat pump. This increases efficiency and produces more electricity than a traditional solar panel.

The heat from the solar hybrid heats up the borehole

The cold fluid is reheated by the heat from the solar hybrid before returning to the borehole to heat it up. The solar hybrid supplies the heat pump with heat and recharges the borehole.

The solar hybrid produces heat around the clock that can be stored

The solar hybrid works even when the sun is not shining and produces energy around the clock until the temperature drops to the freezing point. The borehole also serves as a seasonal warehouse. The solar heat that is not used during the summer is stored and can be used during the winter.

Step by step

  • A solar panel is combined with a thermal component, creating a solar hybrid.

  • The solar hybrid is cooled with a cold liquid that is pumped up via the geothermal heat pump.
    This increases efficiency and produces more electricity than a traditional solar panel.

  • The cold liquid is heated again by the heat from the solar hybrid.

  • The heated fluid returns to the borehole.

  • The solar hybrid supplies the heat pump with heat and the borehole.

  • The solar hybrid works even when the sun is not shining and produces energy around the clock
