Abstract

In this paper, the Advanced Optical Photovoltaic Thermal System (ADOPTS) solar collector was thoroughly tested and analyzed in performance and cost analysis. The ADOPTS collector integrates optics within the PV/T device to enable geometric concentration, as well as a protection of the solar cells from the elements using the same encapsulation. The rooftop or façade mounted photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector provides a low cost, two-in-one solution for residential/commercial hot water and electricity needs, while also providing a renewable energy option to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions. The ADOPTS collector can provide 150 Wel/m2 and 400 Wth/m2, and prevent a total of 3916 kg of CO2/m2 (or 4.3 tons CO2/m2) over a 20-year period. The collector provides a low cost option that delivers both heat and electricity for single or multifamily homes and commercial buildings to compete with current commercialized PV and thermal systems, while simultaneously preventing CO2 emissions and reducing the need for natural gas.
