- •
A novel photovoltaic-thermal collector with micro heat pipe array is proposed.
- •
The mathematical model of the collector is developed based on the heat transfer process.
- •
The thermal efficiency of the collector is affected significantly by seasons.
- •
The annual experimental value of the daily average thermal efficiency α and the heat loss coefficient U are 0.30 and 0.105, respectively.
- •
In an entire year, the total efficiency of the collector fluctuates between 30% and 50%.
