Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this review, an attempt has been made for various applications of semitransparent photovoltaic thermal (SPVT) modules used for PVT-CPC water air collector, drying, space heating/cooling of the building, greenhouse integration for agricultural production of vegetables, and power generation. It has been observed that semi-transparent photovoltaic thermal (SPVT) modules are more efficient and economical for many sectors and have more advantages than opaque photovoltaic thermal modules. The brief details of each case have been discussed. Furthermore, a greenhouse integrated semi-transparent photovoltaic thermal (GiSPVT) system has been elaborated for vegetable growth with different packing factors.
