When it comes to using solar for your heat and electricity requirements, the obvious solution is to have a separate solar PV system for producing electricity and solar thermal collectors for water heating. It is not uncommon for many industries, commercial enterprises and even residential units to go for both the solutions.
Now, imagine if these two solutions are integrated into a single unit! In fact, such an integrated solution is available in the form of photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) hybrid collectors which convert the sun’s energy into both heat and electricity.
Is this possible? Yes.

Hi, Everyone..
With the help[ of sun we can run heavy loads like AC and Water Pumps – There are more efficient and cost effective alternatives to most of these applications that would not only help you improve the returns from your investment in solar energy, but also ensure the longevity of your home solar power system.
