ABSTRACT
In this mechanized world, life will be very easy if sufficient amount of energy is available for us. Every automated system exploits energy to give the desired work output. Therefore, if energy is not available, every machine is a waste. The overexploitation of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels will lead to energy crisis. It’s our duty to conserve the available energy for our upcoming generations by depending on renewable energy sources and also by utilizing them in an efficient way. While considering the renewable energy sources, solar energy is considered to be the best among them. This is because, it is sufficiently available and its tapping is cheaper and easy compared to other energy forms. A photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system is used to extract energy from sun to a maximum extend. The PV module will generate electrical energy and the heat developed on the PV module is absorbed by water or air flowing through the system.
