[BLDG-SIM] hybrid solar collector

Hello:

 

I'm afraid that this is more complicated that it seems. However, I'm pleased
to say help is on its way. Mr. Sakkara Rasisuttha, a Ph.D. candidate at TAMU
is completing his PhD thesis on the use of a triple-effect solar collector
that collects heat during the day along with electricity, and then can be
used to reject heat at night. His work includes experimental work to
determine the collector properties, which show, as expected, that an
unglazed collector is not a good heat collector, but is a good heat
rejector. Therefore, it would appear that one might want to consider a thin
plastic cover over the PV collector to boost the efficiency of the thermal
collection. A paper on this has been submitted to the IBPSA USA conference
in Boulder this summer. Thesis due out shortly.

Does anybody know tool to size and estimate performance of a hybrid solar
collector generating simultaneously heat (domestic hot water) and
electricity.

Any suggestions for any software suitable to model solar panels to generate
domestic hot water?

 

Thanks,
