Information
This package contains both thermal and electrical performance data records for photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) collectors. All parameters are openly available from datasheets and certificates. Thermal performance data, structured according to the ISO 9806:2013 quasi-dynamic test method, can be found in rating databases such as:
Electrical performance parameters and system loss factors are typically published in the commercial PV module datasheet provided by the manufacturer.PVT collector types are categorized as follows:
-
U: Uncovered PVT collectors, subdivided into:
- UI: Uncovered PVT collectors with rear insulation
- UN: Uncovered PVT collectors without rear insulation
- C: Covered (glazed or polymer) PVT collectors
- X: Concentrating PVT collectors
All record names should begin with one of the above abbreviations to indicate the collector classification.
