Historically, the main drawback of many conventional photovoltaic (PV) systems has been the high initial cost and limited amount of electrical output compared to the solar input. This new system allows excess heat to be recaptured and boosts the system's return on investment (ROI), announces Solimpeks. Any PV cell is negatively affected by heat, with output dropping by around 0.5 % for every Kelvin degree. A 10-degree rising in temperature, for example, would mean a loss in power output of about 5%. Scientists at Solimpeks have turned this problem into a solution by developing its “PV-T”: a hybrid PV and solar thermal collector, which enables the PV cells to be cooled using water circulating around them. The result, greater electrical output from the cells and the production of hot water. As well as increasing PV module performance, the PV-T hybrid collectors mean that less roof space is required for the same output of electricity and hot water, since only one system is needed as opposed to a solar thermal array and PV array side-by-side. Furthermore, Solimpeks reports that the hybrid PV-T system’s ROI is shorter than the PV systems, and because PV cell temperature is reduced, the lifetime of cells is lengthened.According to the Turkish company, calculations by several scientific organisation and universities show that an average family house in northern Europe would require only 25 square-metres of PV-T collectors to meet its hot water and electricity demands.Solimpeks’ R&D Manager, Joop Hoek, also explains that excess electricity from the system could be stored in normal batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, while heat could be stored underground; giving the example of the Drake Lake solar project, where 52 homes were heated through the winter by Solimpeks using solar thermal energy collected during the summer.http://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/paginas/Contenidosecciones.asp?ID=14&Cod=5024&Tipo=&Nombre=Latest%20news

Nowadays, the most people and countries like to be self supporting for their own energy needs, they are looking most of all to the durable energy sources like the sun, water and wind or geothermal. The systems, which are most commend on the market now supply only electricity or only heat. Let use look to the Sun. The sun is source of infinite and it generates 10.000 more energy than what the world consumes.  There are two systems very common to used this energy.  First we have the solar collector that makes normally hot water out of the energy from the sun. Second there are PV (Photovoltaic) modules, which convert sun lights into electricity. Both systems are increasing its popularity every day. Both systems have normally a black or dark surface that is looking to the sun, a black surface is a sobering the solar energy and while be heated for the solar collectors that is the meaning but if a PV module while be heated is while lost the capability to make electricity and these output lost is about 0,5 % for every Kelvin degrees,  so every 10 degreed rising of the temperature from a PV module means a loss of about  5% of electricity output. To solve this problem scientists have been working on different methods. The most promising one is “cooling pv cells with fluid”. In the PV-T, which is hybrid Photovoltaic and Thermal collector, production of both electricity and hot water is done simultaneously. The PV module’s heat is absorbed to produce hot water so that PV efficiency can be optimized as the heat is transferred into fluid to produce hot water. By courtesy of PV-T hybrid collectors to enable that following these issues: It has been increased performance electricity production of PV module. Hybrid PV / T systems covering areas where electricity and heat energy produced from the total, half of this field with PV modules, the remaining half of the thermal. Thermal collectors and PV modules to be installed side by side and creating trouble in terms of availability and use of cause visual pollution. PV / T modules, the electricity and hot water in the same area produced a space-saving although the image and reduce environmental pollution is a major contribution. Hybrid PV/T systems ROI is shorter than the PV systems. Consequently, in the PV / T systems can reduce the temperature of PV cells cause the cells are increasing lifetime and efficiency. Out of calculations done by several scientists organization and university comes that if a normal family house in the north part of Europe can make all his energy what is used in the whole year with only 25 square meters of PV-T collectors To store the electricity we can use normal batteries or hydrogen with a fuel cell. To store the heat from the summer we can make used of a ground storage like is done by the drake lake solar project where we heat 52 houses the whole year with solar energy.

 Solimpeks Corp., based in Karatay, Turkey, has released the Volther hybrid solar collector, which produces electricity and hot water simultaneously. The product's hybrid modules allow extra module heat to be absorbed to produce hot water, thus optimizing efficiency, the company says. Historically, the main drawback of many conventional PV systems has been the high initial cost and limited amount of electrical output compared to the solar input. This system allows excess heat to be recaptured and boosts the system's return on investment, according to Solimpeks.

MUNICH Solimpeks Solar Energy Corp., the leading Turkish manufacturer of solar collectors, has opened its first foreign branch office in Munich. Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Martin Zeil, welcomes the decision: “This is a particularly pleasing signal shortly before the opening of the Bavarian Representation in Istanbul. The recruitment of Solimpeks also underscores the top-class framework conditions in Bavaria. A highly qualified labour force, an excellent research network and high purchasing power continue to be convincing arguments for innovative companies from all over the world.Initially Solimpeks plans to create five new jobs in the sales division. In the longer term, the Turkish company intends to also invest in research and development in the state capital. The fact that the choice fell on Bavaria was due not only to close ties with component suppliers from Bavaria. “We opted for Bavaria because Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg make up nearly half of the German market for solar thermal systems. We were also convinced by Bavaria’s favourable strategic location for the solar sector: It is very easy to reach Italy, Austria and Switzerland from here”, explained Joseph Hoek, member of the Executive Board of Solimpeks. In future the company plans to set up a new centre in Munich for developing hybrid solar modules. This technology combines the production of electricity and thermal energy. With its registered office in Munich, Solimpeks Solar GmbH is the first foreign branch office of the Turkish company. Solimpeks celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and has more than 300 employees in total. The company headquarters are based in Konya, about 300 kilometres to the south of Ankara. Solimpeks offers more than 100 solutions for the use of solar energy, ranging from boilers and solar thermal collectors to photovoltaic modules. The company currently exports its products to 60 countries. Turkey is one of Bavaria’s 20 most important trading partners worldwide, ahead of countries like India, Canada or Brazil. In 2008, the volume of trade came to nearly euro 4 billion. Bavaria is further expanding its good business relations with Turkey: On 18 March 2010, the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs, Martin Zeil, will be opening a new Bavarian representative office in Istanbul. The State currently has 20 foreign representations round the world, which help Bavarian exporters to open up markets and inform foreign companies about the benefits of having a branch office in Bavaria.
