PV Thermal (PVT) Module
We are proud to introduce the EL PV-Thermal(PVT) module Series to its line of high quality, solar energy products. Its revolutionary design combines photovoltaic energy generation with thermal heating capabilities in one powerful, cost effective module.
EL-PVT module Series delivers substantially higher efficiencies compared to other PV modules. A PV module's performance can be degraded when subjected to extremes in operating temperature. But our EL-PVT module eliminates this problem through the use of an integrated heat exchanger with a water/glycol mix. This heating exchange capability can effectively cool or warm the solar cells equally when needed, keeping the module's temperature at a constant 35℃. At this temperature yield reductions due to excessive heat in the summer are prevented, improving the system's electrical output by 15-20% compared to standard PV modules. During the winter, heated water can be pumped through the module quickly melting away snow and exposing the modules to sunlight, ensuring uninterrupted power generation.
Our EL-PVT modules are designed to be used in a number of residential and commercial applications. For the home, a roof-top array can generate thermal energy to supply a family's hot water needs. It can also supply all the energy needed to supply an under-floor radiant heating system. If you own a boiler, our EL-PVT modules can supply up to 70% your existing boiler consumption needs. With the addition of a thermal storage unit, the energy generated by an EL PVT array can be utilized any time; day, night or on cloudy days when the amount of available sunlight is limited. Our EL PVT modules can be the foundation for a truly environmentally friendly home. Integrating a low temperature differential engine will put your home one step closer to energy independence. The energy provided by a PV-Thermal system will generate carbon free electricity, displace carbon based heating fuels such as oil and natural gas and reduce your household's carbon footprint to a minimum.
The higher conversion efficiency and thermal capabilities of Everlight's EL-PVT modules make them ideal for large power generating plants and PV parks. When combined with a low temperature differential engine, a PV park owner can enjoy not only the higher efficiencies the modules provide, but also can convert the additional thermal energy into electricity, producing higher returns on investments.
