Research on Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) System

Modern-day buildings have become the third-largest consumer of energy, after industry and agriculture, and energy consumption in buildings contributes up to 40% of the total energy use in developed countries. Energy consumption is rapidly increasing with the growth of population, urbanisation, and demands of building services and comfort levels. Thus, reducing building energy consumption plays a very crucial role in controlling global energy demand and mitigating climate change.
