Solar Energy and NZSolar Energy and NZ
New Zealand land mass conservatively collects 1.4x1021 J per year
An average house rooftop of 150m2
collects 2.2x108 Wh per year ie. 20 to 30 times the house’s total requirements.
Hamilton receives ~5000 MJ/m2/year

What is a Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collector
Solar Thermal + Photovoltaics = PVT

PVT Collectors
Photovoltaic and solar thermal in a single device: Cogeneration of heat and power
PV-cell efficiency decreases with increasing temperature
Efficiency of PV cells increased by active cooling
Area dedicated to solar energy devices can be reduced

Market for PVT Systems
Solar thermal collector market in Australia and New Zealand was growing at a rate of 19% per annum
Market for photovoltaic solar collectors has experienced a very high rate of growth during the last decade
PVT systems could meet the entire European PV quota while also providing 30% of the solar thermal target
Largest market is the domestic sector
Short to medium term PVT will find “niche market” applications

University of Waikato PVT Research
University of Waikato is conducting research into Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPVT) collectors
BIPVT is the use of PVT as building elements such as roofing or façade
Compromise between thermal, electrical and building needs
Thermal and electrical performance of a typical BIPVT collector has been modelled, using a modified Hottel-Whillier method (i.e. as a standard flat plate solar collector)
