Basics

Often shortened to Photovoltaic Thermal collectors, and abbreviated as PVT
A Combination of a Photovoltaic Panel and a Solar Hot Water Heater
Cools the PV panel, increasing it's efficiency, and produces hot water (or another working fluid)

Their hybrid model is called the "Spring" panel
Their Product Page
Power Quote From This Page
- "A DualSun panel has a thermal power output of 404 watt peak (thermal unit) for domestic hot water use as well as a photovoltaic power capacity of 280 watt peak (electric), adding up to a total of 684 W / panel"
- No USA Distributors ; Will try contacting them

The Wikipedia Page on PVT Collectors
A Video by the YouTube Channel "Just Have a Think " Titled "The Solar PV panel that provides electricity AND heat for your home!" Mentions the company "Sunovate" which uses an air cooled version rather than liquid. Less good for heat exchange, but may be of use for Desiccant Recharging in something like a Rotary Dehumidifier ? That or cold climates
