Here is some information from James, our Renewables Manager, that many people won’t know…
“Solar PVT panels combine the best of traditional PV and solar thermal technologies in a low profile attractive panel which produces both hot water and electricity.
On warm sunny days a traditional PV panel can lose around 25% of its electrical output, this gets worse as the temperature rises on the roof.
The solar thermal absorber located on the rear of the panel strips away the heat keeping the panel cooler, allowing more electrical generation whilst providing useful hot water.”
