Consequently, the total raw solar energy that falls in the solar field is 355,608 kWh⁄year. Solar thermal production of the PVT panels is 80,869 kWh⁄year, leading to a solar thermal utilization ratio of 0.255. On the other hand, raw electricity production is 56,189 kWh⁄year, which means that the electrical utilization ratio constitutes 15.8%.
Solar PV panels convert 10%–50% of solar energy to electricity, and the remaining increases their temperature, which in turn degrades the performance of PV panels (Sharma & Bhattacharya, 2021). On increasing the panel temperature by 1°C, the drop in electricity conversion efficiency is found to be 0.04%–0.5% for various PV materials ( Sharma
