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
Topological module Topological module In mathematics, a topological module is a module over a topological ring such that scalar multiplication and addition are continuous. A topological vector space is a topological module over a topological field. An abelian topological group can be considered as a topological module over Z, where Z is the ring of integers with the discrete topology. A topological ring is a topological module over each of its subrings. A more complicated example is the "I"-adic topology on a ring and its modules. Let "I" be an ideal of a ring "R". The sets of the form , for
