20160079460 | MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF A HYBRID SOLAR PANEL - The invention relates to a hybrid solar panel comprising: photovoltaic elements having a front face and a rear face; a heat exchanger arranged opposite the rear face of said photovoltaic elements; and a cooling fluid circulating in said exchanger in such a way as to cool the photovoltaic elements, said exchanger comprising a heat exchange region through which said fluid flows, arranged beneath said photovoltaic elements, said exchange region comprising elements that enable the flow of the fluid to be disrupted in such a way as to stimulate the heat exchanges in the exchange region. The invention is characterised in that said exchange region is formed by a lower exchange plate designed in such a way as to form built-in obstruction elements extending over the entire thickness of the strand of cooling fluid flowing through the exchange region, and in that the upper end of the obstruction elements is in contact with the rear face of the photovoltaic elements in such a way that said photovoltaic elements are cooled mainly at these contact points. | 03-17-2016 |
20140144485 | IMPROVING THE LONGEVITY AND ERGONOMICS OF HYBRID SOLAR MODULES - At best, photovoltaic solar modules only convert 20% of solar energy into electrical energy, the rest of this energy being dissipated. This heat stored in the photovoltaic module reduces efficiency, which decreases in an inversely proportional manner to the temperature of the photovoltaic module. To dissipate and recover this heat, it is common to associate the photovoltaic module with a heat exchanger which, in addition to cooling the photovoltaic module, will supply heat, for example to heat the sanitary water of a building. This assembly forms a hybrid solar module, whose main limitation is its weight and relatively short service life. The invention described in the present document solves these two problems by replacing the first layer of the hybrid solar module, which is conventionally a glass sheet, with a material which is lighter, less rigid, more transparent, and more compatible with the material from which is constructed the heat exchanger, which now provides the system with its rigidity. A method for manufacturing these hybrid solar modules is also described. | 05-29-2014 |
