With the rising gas and electricity prices, cost savings are more than welcome. This is possible with PVT panels, because this panel generates both solar energy and solar heat. An interesting combination for farmers with a high gas consumption.
A PVT panel is a solar panel with a thermal collector behind it. The thermal collector uses the heat from a solar panel. A solar panel heats up when it generates electricity. As a result, the panel not only generates sustainable energy, but also makes smart use of the heat that would normally end up in the outside air.
Heat
The thermal collector thus collects the heat from a solar panel, as it were. That solar heat is again a good source for a heat pump, so that you also benefit from the heat at a time when the sun is not shining.
Extra advantages
An additional advantage of this system is that the thermal collector cools the solar panel. And a cooler solar panel has more generating power than a warm solar panel. A PVT panel therefore generates more energy than a regular solar panel.
Interesting for you?
PVT is a new technique. Financially, this solution is not yet available to everyone. Do you have a gas consumption of more than 150.000 m3 per year? Then an investment in PVT panels can be very interesting for you. Certainly in combination with an SDE++ subsidy. Click here for more information.
