Project Goal: |
|
To integrate two separate solar energy collection technologies
(photovoltaic and thermal) in order to increase PV efficiency
while harnessing thermal energy that would otherwise be
lost. |

|
Stevens Institute of Technology has an ever-growing focus on
green engineering,
lowering the imprint we leave on society and decreasing the
cost of electricity on campus.
The goal of this project is to create an
integrated solar system combining a photovoltaic
panel and a solar thermal system .
There are a small number of current systems using
this integrated approach, but none have been perfected for
efficiency and large scale applications.
Our design integrates the two separate solar energy
collection technologies, photovoltaic and thermal, in order
to increase PV efficiency while harnessing thermal
energy that would otherwise be lost to the ambient
environment.
