Reasons to install hybrid solar panels

Unlike traditional energy sources, solar energy is unlimited, sustainable, renewable, clean, and free. That is why many households, companies and communities of residents have already switched to self-consumption.

The only thing you need to enjoy the benefits from the sun is the installation of solar panels.

And for this, there are mainly three types of solar panels on the market: solar thermal panels, photovoltaic solar panels and hybrid solar panels.

How do they differ?

Solar thermal panels allow us to transform the sun’s energy into thermal energy. Or in other words, in heat.

Photovoltaic solar panels are responsible for transforming solar energy into electricity.

Its panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that, through the photoelectric effect, transform light energy into electric current.

Hybrid solar panels are the mixture of the thermal solar panel and the photovoltaic panel. Thanks to the fusion of both technologies, they will produce electricity and heat at the same time on the same surface.

These panels, therefore, will reduce the space needed to take advantage of solar energy, as it only requires one panel for both functions.

Why choose hybrid solar panels?

As we have already mentioned, a hybrid solar panel allows electricity and hot water to be generated simultaneously in the same panel.

Therefore, the main reason for choosing them will be to save space. In many homes, the square footage for installation can be very limited.

Another reason is its higher performance compared to other solar panels, as it manages to dissipate part of the heat generated in a photovoltaic panel.

But are all hybrid solar panels identical?

No, they are not.

Over the years, the market has been evolving and designing new models. Hybrid solar panels have evolved from generation 0 (PVT-0), through generation 1 (PVT-1) and generation 2 (PVT-2). This generational leap has been marked by the degree of insulation of the panel itself and the roofs it incorporates.

At Abora Solar we have created an advanced generation 2 system: PVT-2 Glazed, a technology that prevents heat losses, increasing the efficiency of the solar panel. It is a series of layers whose design and arrangement reduce the thermal losses of the panel to a minimum and maximize electrical production thanks to the cooling obtained from the photovoltaic cells.

This is how we have designed, developed and manufactured the most cost-effective solar panel in the world, with an efficiency of 89%, achieving a certified world record.

Each panel can produce the same energy as 4 photovoltaic panels (reducing 4 times the CO2 produced).

This makes it the solar panel that generates the most energy per m2, making the most of the roof of your building, a fact to consider in limited spaces.

In addition, Abora Solar is a company from Zaragoza (Spain) that is a benchmark at a national and European level. Proof of this is the Solar Keymark certification, awarded in May 2022. A distinguished certification that reaffirms Abora as a European reference in the sector.

Is it the technology my industry needs?

If you need to make your business more competitive in the market and reduce your energy bills and CO2 emissions, the hybrid solar panel is the best solution. Our panel offers the best performance and profitability on the market.

We have already proven its effectiveness in hotels, multi-housing, residence for the elderly, hospitals, farms, sports centres, campsites, washing places, educational centres, student residences, district network, laundries, dryers, slaughterhouses, chemical industry, timber industry, paper industry, textile industry, food industry or warehouses.
