PVT Hybrid Solar Systems — One Panel, Two Energies

Simultaneous power and heat from the same surface.

When roof space is limited, PVT gives you the maximum energy per square meter.

1

What is a PVT System?

PVT (Photovoltaic-Thermal) is a hybrid solar panel that produces electricity and heat at the same time from a single module:

Front Side

Photovoltaic cells generate electricity

Rear Side

Heat exchanger recovers thermal energy for hot water, heating, pools or processes

Instead of installing one array for PV and another for solar thermal, PVT merges both into one integrated system.

Same roof. Same mounting. Double output.

2

Why PVT Instead of Separate PV + Thermal?

Maximum Energy per m² of Roof Area

For many projects, roof or façade area is the main limitation. PVT allows you to:

  • Produce kWh of electricity + kWh of heat on the same square meter
  • Reach much higher total solar yield compared with PV alone

The Key Outcome:

Instead of degrading under heat stress, PV cells operate in a cooler, more efficient condition, producing higher electrical yield while generating usable thermal energy.

All measurements were captured using calibrated sensors under controlled load—never spreadsheet simulations.
We publish sustained performance, not inflated peak numbers.

Why Soletks PVT — Engineering Built for Real Projects

The solar industry is full of "PVT concepts" that perform well on paper but fail under real operating conditions. Soletks takes an engineering-led, not marketing-led, approach.

1

Thermal Circuit Designed Around PV Physics

Uniform heat extraction is essential for reliable PVT operation. Soletks uses full-coverage aluminum absorber plates with micro-channel heat exchangers to prevent localized overheating.

Unlike spot-flow or partial-contact designs, our geometry eliminates thermal gradients—the root cause of:

  • Cell fatigue
  • Micro-cracking
  • Long-term electrical yield decay
2

Electrical Yield Preserved, Not Sacrificed

A PVT panel that loses 20–30% PV output is unacceptable. Our architecture extracts heat below the PV operating zone, ensuring:

  • No shadowing
  • No hydraulic deformation
  • No clamp hotspots
  • No solder-joint fatigue

Field data confirms 90–95% of pure PV output, while also generating thermal gain.

3

Real Thermal Performance — Not Cosmetic Water-Cooling

Many "PVT" designs rely on laminated capillaries or shallow snake tubes that only cool panels under mild conditions and then stagnate or boil.

Soletks uses:

Technology:
  • High thermal conductivity plate (k > 200 W/m·K)
  • Optimized fluid volume
  • Controlled ΔT extraction strategy
This ensures:
  • Stable heat output in summer
  • Predictable return temperatures for heat pumps or storage
  • No boiling, stagnation, or thermal runaway
4

Structural Integrity for Long Service Life

PVT panels endure UV + thermal cycling, moisture ingress, corrosion, mechanical stress, and high stagnation temperatures.

PV only Sähkö kWh electric only Keskitaso Good for electricity Simple
Solar thermal only Heat kWh thermal only Korkea Very competitive for DHW Keskitaso
PVT hybrid Combined kWh electric + kWh thermal Very high total Often lowest per kWh (combined) Higher but integrated

PVT is not replacing classic PV or solar thermal in every case.
But when roof area is limited and there is simultaneous demand for power and heat, PVT is often the most efficient and compact choice.

PVT vs PV ROI — Realistic Regional Examples

Below is a practical B2B comparison, based on typical commercial buildings (hotel / student housing / clinic), where electricity + hot water demand coexist. It is not theoretical marketing—it reflects real energy prices, hot water loads, and panel performance.

  • Roof constraint: 80–120 m² usable area
  • Electric tariff: local commercial rate
  • DHW demand: 1–4 tons/day @ 45–55°C
  • PVT output: 1 unit delivers electricity + heat
  • PV output: electricity only

PV alone solves only half the problem.

PVT reduces the two largest cost centers at once: power + heat.

📊 Why These Numbers Matter (Not Just Marketing)

PV

~200–300 kWh/m²
(electric)

Solar Thermal

~300–900 kWh/m²
(thermal)

PVT

~500–900 kWh combined
(electric + thermal)

PVT = PV output + 1–2× extra heat yield.
And unlike PV spillover: Thermal energy is always absorbed by DHW (hospitals/hotels/industry). Buffer tanks store excess heat → no curtailment.
This is why ROI accelerates.

PVT: The Most Cost-Effective Renewable Heat Source for Europe

PVT delivers the same principle — naturally and continuously.
Heating Configuration Typical COP Relative Heat Cost
Air-source heat pump ~3 Higher
Water-source heat pump ~5 Alhaisempi
Water-source + waste heat ~6 Alin
PVT-assisted heat pump 5–6+ Alin

Why PVT wins: PVT panels provide pre-heated water to the heat pump, dramatically improving COP while simultaneously generating electricity. This dual benefit makes PVT-assisted systems the most economically efficient renewable heating solution in Europe's climate.
