Riassunto

This book provides the most up-to-date information on hybrid solar cell and solar thermal collectors, which are commonly referred to as Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems.  PV/T systems convert solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy to produce electricity, utilize more of the solar spectrum, and save space by combining the two structures to cover lesser area than two systems separately. Research in this area is growing rapidly and is highlighted within this book. The most current methods and techniques available to aid in overall efficiency, reduce cost and improve modeling and system maintenance are all covered. In-depth chapters present the background and basic principles of the technology along with a detailed review of the most current literature. Moreover, the book details design criteria for PV/T systems including residential, commercial, and industrial applications. 

• Provides an objective and decisive source for the supporters of green and renewable source of energy 
• Discusses and evaluates state-of-the-art PV/T system designs 
• Proposes and recommends potential designs for future research on this topic

Ali H. A. Al-Waeli Obtained his Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering form Sohar University, Oman in 2016. In 2019, Ali obtained a PhD in renewable energy from Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) of the National University of Malaysia (UKM). He has over 26 publications in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus indexed international journals. He is also a reviewer peer reviewer in many international journals. He is also a member of organizations such as IEEE, WSSET and IAENG. In 2018, Ali became a co-editor in the journal of management science and engineering research. He was granted a fund for a research project in 2014 by the Omani Research Council (TRC) and has successfully completed the project. He became a research assistant at the National University of Malaysia (UKM) in 2017 and is currently working as a post-doc researcher on a research project funded by the Malaysian government.  Moreover, Ali invented the "Photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collector with nano-PCM and nanofluids". Ali is interested in research in the field of energy efficiency, renewable and sustainable energy and solar energy, particularly photovoltaics (PV).
