Knowing that the beam fraction of the global irradiation increases when we move closer to the equator, conclusions can be taken on Solar8 electrical/thermal output ratio depending on its location (Table 5).
Table 5. Solar8 electric and thermal annual outputs per square meter of total glazed area, on a N-S tracking axis and 50°C average working temperature. The total glazed are on Solar8 is 4.6m2.

The ratio between electric and thermal outputs decreases when Solar8 is moved closer to the equator where the beam irradiation values are higher. The electric output is proportional to the irradiation thus, a PV module as constant efficiency for the same working temperature. A solar collector as higher efficiencies for higher irradiances since the thermal output increases more than proportional when the irradiation increases.
4.3. Solar8 vs. traditional side-by-side system based on glazed area
There are many ways and factors to take in account when comparing the performance of a concentrating hybrid with a traditional side-by-side system composed by a PV module and a solar collector working separately. The following tables feature Solar8 comparison with the traditional side — by-side system based on their power outputs and total glazed area (Table 6 to Table 8).

Table 7. Traditional side-by-side-system electric and thermal outputs per square meter of glazed area. The PV module n0b=16% at 25°C. The flat plate collector q0b=80%, ai=3.5 W/m2oC and operates at 50oC average working temperature.

The traditional side-by-side system uses less area than Solar8 for the same electric and thermal outputs. This difference decreases when the systems are moved closer to the equator since Solar8 is exposed to higher beam irradiation values. In Lisbon, for instance, Solar8 can be replaced by 1.4m2 of PV module and 2m2 of thermal collector for the same outputs. Hence, it would use 74% of Solar8 total glazed area (4.6m2). Practically, two components require more space than one component.

A new innovation technology includes construction of a Multi Solar Power Station using the Multi Solar (PV/T) Collectors System and a thermal (steam turbine) generator, using the excessive solar thermal energy produced by the Multi Solar System (MSS) which doubles the amount of electricity produced by the PVT Power Station while reducing the costs of the solar electricity produced to as low as under $3 USD per watt in certain countries.
The scientific basic principal of the MSS Co-Generation System is A built-in MSS that has the highest efficiency existing today — 85% (15% electricity, 35% hot water, 35% hot air or total 70% thermal energy). Each square meter of the MSS produces 150W DC electricity from PV panels (with 30% higher efficiency than the usual PV due to the cooling system of the PV) and a total of 700W thermal energy. This mass of thermal energy could be transferred into electrical energy with 25% efficiency by using a thermal turbine based on a low pressure steam generator.
The MSS PV/T/A technology is the basic element of the Solar PV/T Power Station. The MSS is an innovative, patented (NO 5522944) Solar PV/Thermal/Air System that makes it possible to convert solar energy into thermal energy and electric energy at the same time using a single integrated collector. The Thermal Steam Generator (Turbine) is the complementary unit to the MSS collector. it makes use of the thermal energy produced by the MSS collector in order to provide an additional and equal amount of energy as is produced by the photovoltaic system.
Millennium proposes to establish a solar power station in an alternative structure, operated by 150°C steam generation and thermal turbine. The existing commercial steam turbines can reach 25% optimal efficiency by using solar thermal energy made by the MSS collectors. This decrease of the feeding temperature for the steam turbine leads to dramatic improvement of the economic feasibility, as a result of the smaller solar array required to provide the same output. This innovative technology should improve the ability of countries to increase solar energy production.
MSS (PVT) Collector Drawing |
The progress of solar technologies, the comeback of renewable energies and the development of the MSS collector which produces electricity from PV cells with 30% higher efficiency (by cooling of the PV cells using internal water pipes on the back side of the MSS collector and preventing the efficiency degradation of regular PV caused by excessive heat). The MSS is the appropriate technology for this innovative idea since it’s the only mature Solar PV/T technology which has been in operation for many years. The MSS PV/T/A technology which has been developed in Israel has been integrated in a variety of projects for over 16 years. The MSS has proven technology for commercial applications.
Since the proposed solar thermal technology is limited to an operation heat of 150°C, we are limiting the solar steam temperature to a maximum of 135°C, which is the feeding temperature of the thermal turbine. Our innovative idea is to increase the heat of the steam produced by the solar station, while reaching the optimal temperature for the thermal turbine. The system consumes the solar thermal energy produced by the MSS collectors at 55°C at first level. This temperature is being increased by the special solar thermal collectors, connected in 2 rows and transferred to the thermal turbine in temperatures of up to 150°C (steam). The thermal turbine produces electricity based on the thermal energy of 20-25% efficiency. In order to increase efficiency percents, the option to use tracking devices for the MSS collectors may be considered.

1.1. Pressure losses
From an engineering point of view an important parameter is the pressure drop within the channel as this parameter determines the requirements for the pumping power. To determine the pressure drop, it is convenient to work with the friction factor of Darcy [6], defined as:
If the pressure variation is isolated from the equation 1 and integral transformation is carried, out the pressure drop is obtained as:
Where p is the fluid density, Vm is the mean fluid velocity, D is the hydraulic diameter and (x2-x1) is the pipe length.
If we analyze the equation 2, it is noticed that the pressure drop is highly affected by the hydraulic diameter, which is directly linked to the shape factor (the bigger the Dh is, the smaller the AP). Once the pressure drop is know, the pumping power can be determined as:
Ignoring the effect of temperature on the cell performance, the efficiency of the electrical conversion of the cells is 20%. Therefore, for the cell surface area under investigation (0.01m2) and with an irradiation of 15000 W/m2, the electrical power produced by the cells is predicted to be 30 W.
Taking into account the necessary pumping power and the electrical power produced by the cells, the net electrical power is defined as:
pnet electrical Pelec, PV Pelec, pumping (Eq. 4)
In the figure 4, the variation of the net P with the Re and the defined aspect ratios is shown,
In the figure 4, it can be noticed that the maximum net electrical efficiency has a quadratic form, and increases with growing aspect ratio. On the other hand, the slope of the parabola in the region which describes the power in the laminar regime is much greater in tubes with smaller aspect ratio.
In the SDS process (see flow diagram in Fig. 1) a bed of silicon dust, obtained from high purity gaseous feedstock, is prepared, acting both as a cheap substrate and as a “sacrificial detachment layer”. A thick film is then deposited on this bedding layer by fast CVD, at low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Finally, the detached free standing ribbon is recrystallised by a floating molten zone (ZMR — Zone Melting Recrystallization) technique.
The advantages of the SDS process are: (i) no substrate and therefore no associated cost and no contamination; (ii) low energy and thermal budget by use of atmospheric pressures and low temperature CVD; (iii) high quality, free standing, crystalline silicon sheet by float zone crystallisation, with no contact with foreign materials.
