Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (HPVT) system collects both photovoltaic and thermal energy from incoming sun light. Conventional solar panel collects photovoltaic energy but wastes solar thermal energy in sun light. The proposed HPVT system collects photovoltaic energy with conventional solar panel and reflects IR rays from the panel towards an Electronic Carnot Engine (ECE) and converts solar thermal energy into electricity directly without the need of a generator.
