A High Performance Solar Heat and Power System Employing the Innovative Photovoltaic/Thermal Technology

该项目将通过中英顶尖大学和中英顶尖公司的紧密合作，开发一种新型、高效、低成本的建筑一体化光伏/T系统，用于建筑空间供暖、热水和电力供应。这些大学拥有最先进的PV/T、微通道和循环热管技术的具体知识，以及面向中国的商业战略的专业知识。公司在太阳能光伏、光热、光伏/T、蓄热/换热器等领域具有较强的研发和制造能力。与现有的同等光伏/T系统相比，新的光伏/T系统将实现30%的整体太阳能效率提高和20%的成本节约，并将灵活选择组件以满足建筑物的不同需求。创新技术包括：(1)新型循环热管（LHP）；(2)新型PV/T面板；(3)高效储热/换热器；(4)基于互联网的智能监控系统。这样的技术进步将为中国和全球太阳能热发电行业开辟一个巨大的商机，从而对中国、英国和其他地区的经济、工业和环境产生巨大影响。

Through a close collaboration between the leading UK/China universities and the top China/UK companies, this project will develop a novel, high efficiency, low cost and building integrate-able PV/T system for building space heating, hot water and power supply. The universities have specific knowledge of the most advanced PV/T, micro-channel and loop heat pipe technologies and also expertise in China-oriented business strategy. The companies have strong R&D and manufacturing capacity in solar PV, thermal, PV/T and heat storage/ exchangers. The new PV/T system will achieve 30% higher overall solar efficiency and 20% cost saving compar-ed to existing equivalent PV/T systems and will be flexible in components selection to meet different needs in buildings. The innovative technologies include (1) a novel loop-heat-pipe (LHP); (2) a novel PV/T panel; (3) a highly efficient heat storage/exchanger, and (4) an internet-based intelligent monitoring & control system. Such technological advances should open up an enormous China and global business in solar heat and power sector, thus creating considerable impact on economy, industry and environment within China, the UK and beyond.
