Abstract
The efficiency of PV decreases with operating temperature rise. Therefore, PV and thermal absorber are coupled together to form PV/T collector which can solve this problem and simultaneously harvest the waste heat. In this work applicability of PV/T in Assam, India has been studied using Polysun simulation software and results are compared with the operation of PV/T under the climatic condition of Delhi. An attempt to find the optimum tilt angle for various solar devices for the location Guwahati has also been made. The thermal and electrical output of the PV/T operated at Delhi is calculated to be 6.96 and 12.5% higher than Guwahati. The study also revealed that the optimum angle for installation of PV/T at Guwahati is 29–32°.
