Future prospects of solar technology Solar energy is one of the best options to meet future energy demand since it is superior in terms of availability, cost effectiveness, accessibility, capacity, and efficiency compared to other renewable energy sources , .
Introduction Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is indispensable for realizing a global low-carbon energy system and, eventually, carbon neutrality. Benefiting from the technological developments in the PV industry, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV energy has been reduced by 85% over the past decade .
Therefore, the engineering sector is actively seeking sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions. Among the promising innovations in solving the problem is the photovoltaic thermal system (PVT), which aims to capture electrical and thermal energy from solar radiation.
Due to urbanisation, environmental concerns, escalation in energy demand has led to non-renewable energy resources like solar energy. For the past two decades, more inclination has been seen in developing photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems to fulfil the energy needs in terms of electrical and thermal energy with zero carbon emission.
Despite its potential, the application of PVT systems is currently limited due to the unpredictable nature of solar energy and the absence of efficient thermal energy storage capabilities.
Solar PVT is one of them. But the PVT system has not been commercialized yet, because the cost of the PV Module is about 70% more than other equipment. If the market analysis is done, it can be seen that the PVT system is growing rapidly, and at the same time, the number of suppliers is also increasing.
