What Is a PVT Solar Panel?
Meet Soletks, the Expert Manufacturer from China
Most solar panels waste heat that could be harnessed. This reduces energy efficiency and increases long-term costs. At Soletks, a leading solar manufacturer from China, we create PVT panels that generate electricity and thermal energy—giving you more value from every ray of sunlight.
What is a hybrid solar (PVT) panel?
A PVT (Photovoltaic-Thermal) panel is a hybrid solar module that combines:
Photovoltaic (PV) cells to generate electricity
Thermal (T) collectors to harvest usable heat
This all-in-one system captures more energy while saving space. Soletks panels are built with compact integration in mind for rooftops, projects, and OEM use.
How does a PVT panel work?
When sunlight strikes the panel, the photovoltaic layer produces electricity. But sunlight also heats up the cells, reducing efficiency. That’s where Soletks PVT shines:
Integrated thermal plates absorb excess heat
Heat transfers to circulating fluid (glycol or water)
Thermal energy is reused for hot water, space heating or industrial use
This cooling effect helps the PV cells maintain performance—boosting electrical output by 10–15%.
Benefits of PVT systems
Up to 80% total system efficiency
50% less roof space needed than separate PV + thermal systems
Dual revenue: electricity & heat
Ideal for net-zero and ESG projects
