A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar system was designed, fabricated and experimentally investigated in this work. To actively cool the PV cells, a thermoelectric combining with heatsink designed for uniform the cooling system was attached to the back of the PV panel. Experiments were performed with active cooling. A linear trend between the efficiency and temperature was found. Without active cooling, the temperature of the module was high and solar cells can only achieve an efficiency of 8–9%. However, when the module was operated under active cooling condition, the temperature dropped significantly leading to an increase in efficiency of solar cells to between 12% and 14%. A heat transfer simulation model was developed to compare to the actual temperature profile of PV module and good agreement between the simulation and experimental results is obtained. 2013-12-04T12:44:25Z 2013-12-04T12:44:25Z 2013-12-04 http://ir.unikl.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/5129 en
