Improving The Efficiency Of Solar Cells By Using Hybrid PV/Thermal system

With the increase in development and the increase in demand for energy، it was necessary to develop applications of solar energy. Although solar energy is one of the most important sources of renewable energy، there are many factors that affect the efficiency of these systems negatively (such as shading - rain - high temperature of the PV - the need for large areas) Change the electrical power provided by these systems according to different operating conditions. This article presents one of the proposed solutions to the problem of high temperature and exploitation of the space occupied by these systems. The Hybrid PV/Thermal system، which is based on the integration of solar water pumps with the photovoltaic cells and thus improve the yield of the polarized in high temperature areas، which increases the durability and protection of PVs Of high temperature. The PVSYST-MATLAB / Simulink software was used in the study of the proposed model. The results showed the effectiveness of this model in improving the return of the integrated system (thermal and electrical)، in addition to exploiting the same area to generate electricity and heat compared to the conventional model
