CPVH

Hybrid concentrated photovoltaic module for building façades.

Diagram of the CPVH concept: battery, hybrid photovoltaic module, monitoring and hot water

CPVH develops hybrid solar concentrator modules coupled to photovoltaic systems, to be built into building façades, harvest solar energy and store it locally. It explores three technologies: the hybrid modules, electrical and thermal energy management, and smart monitoring.

Objectives and activities

  • Develop hybrid solar concentrator modules
  • Integrate electrical and thermal energy management systems
  • Develop smart monitoring and control
  • Validate in a real setting and assess energy efficiency
