The antifreeze flowed on the back side keeps the solar cell at a low temperature, which does not rise above the ideal temperature even in hot weather, therefore increasing the power generation capacity of the solar cell by at least 25%, while hot water can be produced from the heat released.
The solar collector unit is approx. has half as much heat production capacity as a solar collector of similar size.

Hybrid solar panel

The hybrid module has a dual function -It produces electricity and heats water.
The first part of the collector contains the monocrystalline solar cell, which produces electricity and is heated by the sun. Heating significantly reduces its efficiency.
There is a flat collector integrated on the rear surface, which absorbs the heat and cools the solar panel part.< br />This increases the performance of the solar panel, while producing hot water like a traditional solar collector.
