Photovoltaic-Thermal Systems for High-Temperature Regions: A Case Study in the United Arab Emirates

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This technical paper examines the application of photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems in high-temperature regions, with a case study focused on the United Arab Emirates. The study analyzes how hybrid PVT technology can simultaneously produce electricity and usable thermal energy under extreme solar and ambient temperature conditions. It discusses system architecture, thermal recovery principles, and the engineering advantages of combining photovoltaic generation with heat extraction in desert climates. The paper also highlights the relevance of PVT systems for improving solar energy efficiency, supporting sustainable infrastructure, and reducing dependence on conventional energy sources in regions with high cooling demand.
