Photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) collectors are a combination of photovoltaic modules with solar thermal collectors, forming one device that receives solar radiation and produces electricity and heat simultaneously. Of various PV modules, dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC) is a relatively new type of solar cell technology that can transmit light while they can generate electricity. With this aspect, DSC can be applied into solar thermal collectors. The object of this study is to evaluate the thermal performance of PVT collector with DSC. The thermal performance of the DSC PVT combind collector was measured in outdoor conditions with the solar radiation of over $700W/m^2$. In this study, the PVT collector with the 30% light transmittance of DSC achieved its thermal efficiency of about 36%.

The temperature of PV modules that integrated into building facades or roof increases that could reduce the electrical efficiency of the PV system. In order to incresae PV system's efficiency it is very important to remove the heat from the PV modules. For this purpose, hot air can be extracted from the space between PV modules and building envelope, and used for heating in buildings. The solar collector utilizing this thermal effect is called photovoltaic-thermal(PVT) solar collector. This paper compares the experimental performance of building-integrated PVT collectors that applied on building roof and facade. There are two different case: a roof-integrated PVT type and a facade-integrated PVT type. The experimental results show that the collected thermal energy of the roof-integrated type was 24% higher, compared to that of the facade-integrated.

The thermal performance of glass evacuated tube solar collectors are numerically and experimentally investigated. Four different shapes of solar collectors are considered and the performances of these solar collectors are compared. Dealing with a single collector tube, the effects of not only the shapes of the absorber tube but also the incidence angle of solar irradiation (beam radiation) on thermal performance of the collector are studied. However the solar irradiation consists of the beam radiation as well as the diffuse radiation. Also, the interference of solar irradiation and heat transfer interaction between the tubes exist in an actual solar collector. These effects are considered in this study experimentally and numerically the accuracy of the numerical model is verified by the experimental results. The result shows that the thermal performance of the absorber used a plate fin and U-tube is the best.

The aim of the study is to the thermal performance of TAP (Thermosiphoning Air Panel) which is easily applicable to existing building as well as new building. TAP is one of the advantageous means of passive solar system, with a view to reducing the energy consumption of existing and new building. The instantaneous thermal efficency of a thermo siphoning collector depends primarily on the heat loss coefficient of the collector, the effectiveness of heattransfer between the absorber and the air, the average air temperature in the collector, the ambient air temperature, and the transmitted solar radiation. Because the important design variables are interrelated, it is, difficult to determine the effect of design decisions based on intuition. Therefore economical and effective TAP can be used easily, TAP had been designed and analyzed.

A numerical study has been performed to investigate the thermal Performance of Solar heating system with baffle type of storage tank by using the commercial code TRNSYS. As a result, the solar fraction depends strongly on the efficiency and heat loss coefficient of solar collector as well as the heating capacity of house and the water temperature supplied to the shower. In addition, the solar fraction has been basically ranked to higher level in baffle type of storage tank than typical type of single storage tank for the range of operation condition.

In this study, the performance of solar assisted hybrid heat pump system with cloud cover were analyzed by using experimental method in spring season. It was consisted of concentric evacuated tube solar collector, heat medium tank, heat storage tank, heat pump, and so on. As a result, the solar radiation should be maintained over $4.1\;MJ/m^2$ in order to operate solar heating system for heating. Solar heat of collector wasn't affected by ambient temperature, but cloud cover has a big effect to collector efficiency. In addition, the collector efficiency is about 50-60%, and solar fraction is 40% for this system.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate performance characteristics of the hybrid solar system during spring season. The system operating condition, each load, and heat pump performance were analyzed with the cloud cover. As a results, the collector heat, solar fraction, and hot water load were decreased with a rise of the cloud. The heating load was considerably effected by the ambient temperature regardless of the cloud cover. Besides, the temperature of hot water increased with the solar radiation. The COP of the heat pump was significantly influenced by the ambient temperature, that was 2.09~2.46 for gray day and 1.94~2.71 for fair day, respectively.

1973년 석규파동 이후 세계 각국은 에너지 문제를 심각하게 다루어 왔다. 화석 연료의 유한성은 미래의 세계 에너지에 대한 연구에 박차를 가해왔다. 현재 사용되는 연료로는 화석연료인 석탄, 석유, 그리고 원자력등이 있다. 그러나 이들은 모두 그의 매장이 어느지역에 제한된 지역편재성이 있는 것이며 그의 사용에 따른 대기오염, 환경오염등의 점차적으로 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 과거 71년부터 77년까지의 기상조건을 중심으로 하여 기온, 수평면 일사량, 운량, 일조시간에 대한 전반적인 조사를 근거로 이에대한 통계를 제시하고, 이들의 상호관계에 대한 일 반적인 식을 유도하였다. 그리고 1977년 8월부터 78년 3월까지의 수령면 일사량과 서울 지방에서 최적치라고 알려진 53도 경사면에서의 전 일사량을 측정하여 이에 대한 자료를 제시함으로써 국 내에서의 태양열 이용에 대한 기초자료를 마련하였다. 이어서 주어진 집열기에 의한 태양열 주택 의 설계와 이에따른 경제성 타당 검토를 하고자 하였다.

Recently solar energy is representative in the technology development and spread of alternative energy. Specially in condition of solar collectors, they have had very various shape. This paper reports experimental study about the application of Oscillating Capillary Tube Heat Pipe to flat-plate solar collector. In conclusion, overall temperature distribution of OCHP was investigated by charging ratio and inclination angle. Respective charging ratio is 15%, 20%, 40% and respective inclination angle is horizontal, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, perpendicular. As a result of experiment, charging ratio 20% heat pipe has shown the most uniform temperature distribution and also performance of heat transfer has been the best.
