What is a Hybrid Solar Panel?
A hybrid solar panel is a technological innovation
that combines photovoltaic and thermal energy.
This technology, still relatively unknown, is a "two-
in-one" solution that is more efficient, economical
and environmentally friendly than simple
photovoltaic or thermal energy. Thus, this solar
technology makes it possible to generate electricity
and hot water simultaneously for the same building.
The general idea of the hybrid solar panel is to be a
combination of traditional photovoltaic technology
and solar thermal collectors. However, Abora Solar
and its aHTech technology has gone a step further
in hybrid solar technology by innovating even more
to offer the most efficient and effective solar panel
in the world.
How does a hybrid solar panel work?
The hybrid solar panel has a very intelligent
operation. In simple terms, the hybrid solar panel
has high efficiency thermal collectors on the back of
the panel and photovoltaic solar cells on the front.
These convert solar energy into electricity and at the
same time the thermal collectors recover the heat
emitted by the sun through a heat transfer fluid or
hot air collector. Thus, it is possible to generate
electricity and heat simultaneously thanks to its two
clearly differentiated operating layers:
The top layer consists of photovoltaic cells that
produce electricity by capturing protons emitted
by solar radiation.
The bottom layer is equipped with a solar
thermal collector that captures the heat emitted
by the sun.
Combining the characteristics of photovoltaic and
thermal panels, hybrid solar panels, known as PV/T, are
based on the principle of solar cogeneration, which
allows them:
Generate electricity to light your home and power
all the appliances installed in your home from
natural energy.
It produces heat to heat water, a swimming pool,
ambient air or even to run your underfloor heating
system.

Benefits of hybrid solar panels with aHTech®
Higher production per square metre with aHTech® technology.
Better performance.
Higher output per square metre of aHTech® technology. One aHTech®
panel generates the same energy as 4 photovoltaic panels.
Greater energy savings as more energy is produced, including the
thermal energy output of the hybrid panel.
More savings with aHTech® technology.
Faster return on investment with aHTech® technology.
Cumulative cash flow is 2.6 times higher with aHTech® technology
than with PV.
Lower energy costs (40% lower with aHTech®).
Greater reduction in emissions, 4 times more emissions avoided than
with PV technology.
