  • Publication number: 20240093914
    Abstract: An installation including a pipe supplying or discharging a cooling fluid, at least one hybrid solar panel, the panel including: a photovoltaic module, a heat exchanger in which a cooling fluid flows, and a connector connecting the heat exchanger to the pipe. The connector includes a tubular body around the pipe, a tube on an external wall of the tubular body, which provides fluid communication between the pipe and the heat exchanger, the tube and external wall form a single piece, the heat exchanger has a wall in which a hole is made, wherein the tube fits freely into the hole, the tube has a seal that makes the connection between the tube and hole sealed to fluids, the tubular body is assembled by elastic fitting on the heat exchanger which fitting is carried out by means of members which are separate from the hole and fit the tube.

  • Publication number: 20140144485
    Abstract: 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.
