Preface

In 2018, we decided to write a book which covers the topic of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collectors. The intentions of writing this book were to provide a reference and a textbook with detailed explanation of the field of PV/T that is useful to academic students, researchers, professionals, and even nonacademics. Hence, the decision was made to provide theory, literature review, and insights into the field. This book is intended to cover a broad range of topics related to PV/T technology which includes photovoltaics, solar thermal systems, and solar energy in general. We recognized the need for a book that summarizes and combines the vast research done for design and development of photovoltaic ther
