Combined Electricity and Hot Water Panels
January 12th, 2009
Every now and again along comes an invention that makes you think “Why on earth hasn’t it been done before?”
New Jersey based Entech Solar have devised a solar panel that produces both electricity and hot water at the same time. The panels contain PV cells as well as a fluid pipe that heats water.
“The devices will be set up in arrays ranging from 100 kilowatts to 5 to 10 megawatts in size and sold largely to industrial customers and corporate campuses”
Sadly not available for home use but it’s a pointer to the future.
