Building integration of solar renewable energy

Integrating heat collection functions into the PV panel – building integrated PV/thermal (BIPV/T). PV panels typically convert from ∼6 to 18% of the incident solar energy to electrical energy, and the remaining solar energy is available to be captured as useful heat. This is normally lost as heat to the outdoor environment.
