Hybrid Hot Water / PV

This hybrid system creates electricity and hotwater.

This hybrid system creates electricity and hotwater.

This system pretty much amounts to a liquid cooled solar PV system. Behind the shinny aluminum are copper pumping cool liquid. The liquid removes the solar heat from the module and transfers it to another exchange where it heats water for showers and domestic use. Because the module is enclosed in glass heat builds quickly and reflected light increases the efficiency of the solar cells. You get more bang for your buck!
