Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collectors, also known as hybrid PV/T (PVT) or solar cogeneration systems, are power generation technologies that convert solar radiation into usable thermal and electrical energy. Such systems combine a solar cell, which converts sunlight into electricity, with a solar thermal collector, which captures the remaining energy and removes waste heat from the PV module. These technologies can be more energy efficient overall than solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal alone. Significant research has gone into developing a diverse range of PV/T technologies since the 1970s.. While many collector types have been
Module (mathematics) to zero by "f". The isomorphism theorems familiar from groups and vector spaces are also valid for "R"-modules. The left "R"-modules, together with their module homomorphisms, form a category, written as "R"-Mod (see category of modules for more.) This is an abelian category. Finitely generated. An "R"-module "M" is finitely generated if there exist finitely many elements "x", ..., "x" in "M" such that every element of "M" is a linear combination of those elements with coefficients from the ring "R". Cyclic. A module is called a cyclic module if it is generated by one element. Free. A free "R"-module
