This paper presents the investigation of a novel mini channel PV/T and thermal collectors combined heat pump system, using both experimental and theoretical methods. Data were produced under conditions typical for winter days in Lvliang, China. A sim...

In order for a solar heating system to provide heat immediately after sunrise, a fast response is needed to the heat demand of a serviced space. The majority of existing solar heating systems have a slow response time due to the large volume of water...
