2018 was a commissioning year.
Thermovalic solar panels.
Thermodynamic panels have been touted as a free source of natural clean and inexhaustible energy providing 100 of your hot water needs 365 days of the year.
On the front side the panel produces electricity.
Dreaming of a hay dryer i got in touch with base for their hybrid panels producing both electricity and heat.
Normally located on the roof but can also be wall mounted the thermodynamic solar panel uses all irish weather conditions to vaporise a very cold inert refrigerant gas that flows through the panel.
Defects and storms destroyed them and i had to do it all over again.
Stpv makes more solar energy available for conversion by tuning the energy to match the pv cell s prefered wavelength.
The temperature of the thermal emitter varies between different systems from about 900 c to about 1300 c although in principle tpv devices can extract energy from any emitter with.
It now works perfectly after this run in period.
With the help of turbulators it allows us to get hot air by lingering it on the back of the photovoltaic panels.
We are ready for another campaign.
In 2008 i installed my first solar panels.

Thermophotovoltaic tpv energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons a basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a thermal emitter and a photovoltaic diode cell.
In other words the pv cell is receiving more solar energy at the right wavelength allowing it to produce more electricity with the same overall solar input.
On the rear side thanks to a heat exchanger developed by base heat is transferred to an air flow below the panels.
Thermolite solar panels can deliver clean reliable performance in a wide variety of applications resulting in longer battery life decreased waste lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
