Abstract
A hybrid solar panel includes a solar photovoltaic panel configured to generate electrical energy by receiving sunlight, a solar thermal panel formed on a lower portion of the solar photovoltaic panel, and a lattice-type refrigerant flow path which is formed inside the solar thermal panel and in which a horizontal guide unit is formed, the horizontal guide unit being configured to guide at least a portion of a refrigerant for cooling the solar photovoltaic panel by absorbing heat generated as sunlight irradiates the solar photovoltaic panel to a horizontal direction.
Claims6
A hybrid solar panel comprising:
- a solar photovoltaic panel configured to generate electrical energy by receiving sunlight;
- a solar thermal panel formed on a lower portion of the solar photovoltaic panel;
- and
- a lattice-type refrigerant flow path which is formed inside the solar thermal panel and in which a horizontal guide unit is formed, the horizontal guide unit being configured to guide at least a portion of a refrigerant for cooling the solar photovoltaic panel by absorbing heat generated as sunlight irradiates the solar photovoltaic panel to a horizontal direction,
- wherein the lattice-type refrigerant flow path is formed by connecting a plurality of metal pipes to each other such that a plurality of longitudinal flow paths and a plurality of transverse flow paths are formed and a lattice shape is formed,
- wherein the horizontal guide unit comprises a protrusion unit that protrudes upward or downward from at least one of a lower surface and an upper surface inside the transverse flow paths, and
- wherein the protrusion unit is formed at each point where the longitudinal flow paths and the transverse flow paths intersect with each other.
