Abstract

A composite or hybrid solar collector 10 comprises a photovoltaic (PV) panel 15 mounted immediately adjacent a substrate 11 of material adapted to absorb infra-red energy (heat), where the substrate has a duct 12 within it for the passage of a heat transfer fluid. The duct may comprise multiple passageways between an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. Preferably, the duct comprises an open channel formed in an upper surface of the substrate, where the duct may be closed by an overlying thin plastics membrane 13. The substrate may be moulded from a plastics material and act as a chassis for the panel. The duct preferably includes a tubular liner, such as a copper tube, which may be a snap-fit in the duct, with the heat transfer fluid circulating in the liner. Preferably, the collector comprises a plurality of photovoltaic panels mounted on a common substrate. In use, the composite solar collector provides electrical energy whilst the heat transfer fluid circulating in the duct may be used as a thermal energy source.

Description

Composite Solar Collector This invention relates to a composite solar collector having photo-voltaic and thermal elements.
Solar collectors, typically in the form of panels, are of two main kinds.
Photo-voltaic panels convert solar energy directly into electricity, principally from non-infrared wavelengths, and have an efficiency of energy conversion of around 16- 17%. Although low in efficiency photo-voltaic panels are popular because the resultant electrical energy is considered of high value, being usable in many kinds of electrical device.
Thermal collectors on the other hand use a heat transfer fluid, such as water, to absorb and transmit heat energy to a heat user. Such energy is low grade because heat energy is not very usable except for heating, but energy conversion has an efficiency of around 80%.
A particular problem with photo-voltaic collectors is that efficiency is generally inversely proportional to temperature, so that the infrared content of solar energy must ideally be reduced or removed if electricity production is to be maximized. Typically a photo-voltaic panel is thus arranged on a free standing frame to give good air circulation. Such frames are unsuitable for many applications, particularly sloping roofs, where they have a poor visual appearance and may be difficult to service.
Furthermore the infrared content of solar energy impinging upon a photo-voltaic panel is wasted, and in fact sometimes considered a disadvantage.
Many houses are ideally suited to solar collectors since they have sloping roofs, but the closer a photo-voltaic panel is mounted to the roof, the more the problem of heat retention is apparent, and the greater the transmission of heat into the roof space.
What is required is a solution which permits close-fitting of a photo-voltaic panel to a sloping roof, yet avoids the problems associated with heat retention on the underside of the panel. Reflective film has been used in the past to reflect infrared energy, but is not considered effective in maintaining high efficiency in the photo-voltaic panel, which loses efficiency with increase of operating temperature.
According to the invention there is provided a composite solar collector comprising a photo-voltaic panel mounted immediately adjacent a substrate of material adapted to absorb infrared energy, said substrate having a duct therein for the passage of a heat transfer fluid.
Such an arrangement is counter-intuitive since it provides a heat absorber immediately beneath the photo-voltaic panel. However the fluid duct allows removal of such heat to a remote radiator, or preferably a heat user, so as to prevent the photo-voltaic panel overheating.
The duct may be of any suitable shape and size, and multiple ducts may be provided.
For example inlet and outlet manifolds may be connected by a plurality of individual fluid passages.
The mass of substrate is preferably selected according to the maximum amount of heat energy to be retained. However it will be understood that the flow rate of fluid within the duct can be selected and/or adjusted to give a rate of heat removal sufficient to maintain a substantially constant temperature at the underside of the photo-voltaic panel.
In a preferred embodiment the cooling duct is placed immediately adjacent the photo-voltaic panel so as to maximize heat transfer therefrom. In this arrangement a thickness of substrate is arranged between individual duct runs, and below such runs.
Such a substrate can be relatively easily moulded in plastics material, the duct(s) appearing as open channels in one face thereof. In use the channels are closed by a thin membrane, or directly by the photo-voltaic panel. The cross-sectional shape of such channels may be selected to maximize the duct area directly adjacent the photo-voltaic panel. For example, when constituted by open channels, the duct may be U' or V' shaped.
A closure membrane of the ducts preferably permits high heat transfer so as to promote cooling of the photo-voltaic panels. This is in contrast to prior art arrangements where the panel underside typically included as insulation or reflector layer so as to prevent transmission of heat to the support surface, typically a sloping roof.
The material of the substrate is preferably strongly absorbent of heat energy, and is for example a modified plastics material typically black, for example of the kind used in bodies of cell phones.
The substrate is preferably self-supporting and thus constitutes a structural member of the invention. The substrate may constitute a chassis for one or more photo-voltaic panels. In the case of a moulding, the substrate may include integrated hard points for mounting to a support surface and to receive components thereon.
The substrate is preferably conformable to accommodate variations of a support surface, such as a sloping roof. High flexibility is not required. The operating temperature of the substrate is preferably in the range -40°C to 200°C in order to accommodate all likely environmental conditions.
In a further embodiment, the duct may be constituted by piping incorporated in the substrate. The material of the piping is required to have high heat transmission characteristics, and may for example be of copper. The duct may for example be pre-formed or pre-assembled for integral moulding in a plastics substrate. Alternatively such a duct may be pressed into a close-fitting groove defined in a substrate. Copper pipe having a bore of 8mm or 10mm is suitable, but other sizes, including micro bore pipe, can be used.
The piping may be used as a structural element in the substrate so as to increase the integrity thereof. Pipe runs may be arranged to allow conformability of the substrate, for example by bending of certain portions in torsion or bending. The use of separate piping allows optimization of the physical properties of the substrate, and facilitates simple fluid connections to be direct. Typically the fluid duct may have an operating pressure of up to 8 bar.
It is envisaged that the heat transfer fluid is water, which may include additives to prevent freezing and corrosion. Heat extracted from the duct may be disposed of via a water/air heat exchanger such as a radiator or cylinder. Preferably however such heat is used for space heating or as a means of generating power via a suitable device.
A composite solar collector according to the invention is adapted for flush-fitting to a roof and presents a good appearance. Furthermore the collector may comprise the outer face of a roof, thus obviating the need for underlying tiles and the like, and avoiding risk of heat transmission into the roof space.
Other features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment shown by way of example only in the accompanying drawings in which:-Fig. 1 is a transverse section through a schematic solar collector according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the substrate of the collector of Fig. 1, showing the line 1-1' on which the transverse section is taken.
With reference to the drawings, a preferred embodiment of a composite solar collector (10) comprises a rectangular moulded plastics substrate (Ii) in the upper surface of which is defined an open fluid channel (12) closed by a thin plastics membrane (13).
The membrane is attached for example by adhesive or welding so that the channel is closed. Suitable inlet and outlet connections are provided, as represented by the arrows of Fig. 2.
The composite collector (10) further comprises a photo-voltaic panel assembly (14), within which three photo-voltaic panels (15) are illustrated. Each panel may comprise a cell or a plurality of cells. As will be apparent from Fig. 1, the channel (12) is immediately adjacent the assembly (14).
The embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is illustrative. The panels (15) may for example be mounted or bonded directly to the membrane (13) so that an independent housing is not required. Typically the panels (15) will be covered by a self-cleaning material, such as a known grade of self-cleaning glass.
In use the substrate provides structural integrity to the assembly and is self-supporting.
As will be apparent from the direction of the longitudinal channel runs of Fig. 2, some compliance of the substrate is permitted to allow conformability to a roof structure (20) or other supporting surface, generally as represented by arrows (21).
Other shapes of channel run may be adapted to give alternative degrees of compliance, both in the X and Y directions.
The size, shape and number of channel runs is selected according to flow characteristics of the heat transfer fluid, and the heat energy to be removed -the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 is illustrative.
In use sunlight, represented by arrows (30), impinges directly on the photo-voltaic panels (15) to generate electricity, which is conducted away by suitable connections to, for example, a storage battery.
Heat energy passing through the photo-voltaic panel assembly (14) is absorbed by the substrate (11), and conducted away from the collector (10) by the passage of a heat transfer fluid in the channel (12). Such heat is removed by a suitable heat exchanger or energy transfer device so that fluid entering the channel (12) is colder than fluid exiting the channel. Suitable control systems determine fluid flow rate so as to minimize energy consumption whilst ensuring effective removal of excess heat from the substrate. The controlling factor may for example be to maintain the underside of the photo-voltaic panel below a critical temperature, or to ensure operation within a pre-determined temperature range.
