Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV-T)

Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV-T)

Vother Hybrid PV-T panel is a single solar collector able to produce electricity, heating and domestic hot water.

  * Hybrid technology that combines, monocrystalline photovoltaics and a high efficiency solar thermal collector.
  * A simple low cost, low maintenance energy solution able to facilitate the governments zero-carbon strategy.
  * Higher output efficiency at lower temperatures than equivalent monocrystalline PV.
  * Space saving as only one panel is required to produce both heat and electricity.
  * Greatly improved paybacks in generally less than fifteen years.
  * Low maintenance & unlike heat pumps, wind turbines, or other renewable sources of energy, virtually fit and forget.
  * Providing opportunities to most residential and light commercial low energy buildings to reach zero-carbon.

What is a Volther Hybrid PV-T collector?

What can be achieved with a PV-T collector?

PV-T collectors allow you to setup a total solar energy system, for both electric and thermal energy generation. Also because of its cooling-effect on the PV module this system has a higher efficiency at a much lower cost price than separate systems good price and performance. In combination with geothermal storage*, this system can be used to take low energy buildings to, or near to zero-carbon.
Collector types and correct product selection?

There are two types of Volther PVT collector PowerVolt and PowerTherm and depending on the project will determine correct panel selection.

What about life expectancy and warranty?

Both our Volther collectors, PowerVolt and PowerTherm come with a 10 year manufacturers warrantee and guaranteed output of at least 80% after 25 years.
