Abstract
Energy is the world's primary source of life. The energy requirements of the globe are growing throughout time. Solar energy is a completely used renewable energy. Photovoltaic solar is a form of solar energy technology which is highly popular due to the capacity of the panel to function on diffuse radiation. The use of a combined device, known as a photovoltaic collector (PVT), can convert solar energy more efficiently to increase photovoltaic efficiency. Combining photovoltaic (PV) and collector (T) can produce electricity and heat simultaneously. Parameters that can affect PVT performance include design parameters, operating parameters and climate parameters. Many designs have been considered to optimize PVT performance. This study reviews the collector design that has the best electrical and thermal efficiency values based on the articles that have been reported. Articles are reviewed with a predetermined qualification standard. So that the boundaries can narrow the discussion carried out.
