Photovoltaic panels VS hybrid panels

It is normal for these doubts to arise.

So let’s start by defining what each technology consists of:

  • A photovoltaic solar panel is responsible for transforming solar energy into electricity. Its panels are made up of photovoltaic cells which, through a photoelectric effect, will transform the sun’s energy into electric current.
  • Hybrid solar panels are the mixture of the solar thermal panel and the photovoltaic panel. In addition to transforming energy into electrical current (photovoltaic panel), they have a thermal module that allows them to transform the sun’s energy into thermal energy. Or in other words, in heat. It’s very useful to have hot water.

This means that while the photovoltaic panel will produce electricity, the hybrid panel will produce electricity and heat at the same time on the same surface.

Practical example

In this example, we will compare a photovoltaic solar panel with the hybrid solar panel with aHTech® technology.

Let’s imagine a four-star hotel in Benidorm, with a flat roof for the installation of solar panels.

Profitability

In this graph, we see the payback, i.e. the time it takes to recoup the investment of the solar panels.

We have also observed how solar panels with aHTech® technology achieve a profitability of X3.8 compared to the photovoltaic panel.

Sustainability

The aHTech® technology will reduce the emissions produced by a photovoltaic panel by  up to 4 times.

Energy production

The energy production with aHTech® technology will exceed up to 4 times that produced by a photovoltaic panel.

Performance

This graph reveals a 20% performance of the photovoltaic panel compared to 89% of the hybrid solar panel with aHTech® technology.

This results in a higher energy output per square meter from the aHTech® hybrid solar panel.

Summary

  • Four times higher energy production of the aHTech® hybrid panel compared to the photovoltaic panel.

  • 5 times more annual savings of the aHTech® hybrid panel compared to the photovoltaic panel.

  • Four times greater emission reduction of the aHTech® hybrid panel compared to the photovoltaic panel.

  • 5-year return on investment of the aHTech hybrid panel compared to the photovoltaic panel, i.e. 4 years.

Other benefits of aHTech® technology

  • ISO 9806:2017 / EN 12975-1:2006 + A1 2010 certifications. The first hybrid solar panel with a Solar Keymark certified cover.

  • 100% European suppliers.

  • Certified world record for efficiency.

  • More than 10 years in the industry.

  • Compliance with the essential requirements of the European directives in force.

  • Own R+D+I department.

  • Maximum energy in the smallest space.

  • Easy installation.

  • Reduced labor costs.

  • Manufactured in Zaragoza, close and without logistical conflicts.

  • After-sales service.

  • Durability.

  • Own software and monitoring.

Do you know that…

Did you know that thermal energy is a form of energy resulting from the temperature difference between two substances or between different parts of the same substance? Here are some interesting points about thermal energy:

1. **Basic principle**: Thermal energy is produced when heat flows from a hot object to a cooler one. It can be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation. 2. **Common uses**: Thermal energy is widely used in many areas, particularly for heating homes and buildings, generating electricity in thermal power plants (using fossil fuels or renewable sources like biomass), and in industrial processes such as manufacturing and material processing. 3. **Energy conservation**: According to the first law of thermodynamics, thermal energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as electricity or motion, and vice versa, but it cannot be created or destroyed—only transformed from one form to another. 4. **Energy efficiency**: Improving energy efficiency in the use and management of thermal energy is crucial for reducing energy consumption and minimizing the environmental impact associated with its use.

In summary, thermal energy plays a vital role in our daily lives and modern industry, encompassing important fundamental concepts in thermodynamics and energy engineering.
