Parallel experimental study of a novel super-thin thermal absorber based photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system against conventional photovoltaic (PV) system (2015)
Journal Article
Xu, P., Zhang, X., Shen, J., Zhao, X., He, W., & Li, D. (2015). Parallel experimental study of a novel super-thin thermal absorber based photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system against conventional photovoltaic (PV) system. Energy Reports, 1, 30-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2014.11.002

Photovoltaic (PV) semiconductor degrades in performance due to temperature rise. A super thin-conductive thermal absorber is therefore developed to regulate the PV working temperature by retrofitting the existing PV panel into the photovoltaic/therma...

Theoretical investigation of the thermal performance of a novel solar loop-heat-pipe façade-based heat pump water heating system (2014)
Journal Article
He, W., Hong, X., Zhao, X., Zhang, X., Shen, J., & Ji, J. (2014). Theoretical investigation of the thermal performance of a novel solar loop-heat-pipe façade-based heat pump water heating system. Energy and Buildings, 77, 180-191. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2014.03.053

The aim of the paper was to present a dedicated theoretical investigation into the thermal performance of a novel solar loop-heat-pipe façade based heat pump water heating system. This involved thermo-fluid analyses, computer numerical model developm...
