The article compares solar panels that generate electricity (PV) with panels that also produce heat (PV/T). The researchers looked at how well each type of panel works in different conditions. They found that PV/T systems can generate more energy and save more money compared to PV systems alone. PV/T panels are more efficient because they can use sunlight to make both electricity and heat at the same time. This study shows that combining solar power and heat can be a smart way to get more energy from the sun.
