'''Methods/Statistical Analysis:''' These different performances had been determined by establishing thermal balances at different levels of the system. The obtained equations had been discretized; simplifying hypotheses had\nbeen issued to ease their resolution. We adopted the Cholesky method using MATLAB software to solve these equations.\nThe electrical, thermal and global efficiencies had been obtained. Comparisons based on these results had been made on\nthese different panels. '''Findings:''' The temperature evolution of the system shows a heat-up of the PV cells. In the other\nhand, a speed increase of the wind brings a cooling of the collector. The increase of the coolant flow implies a decrease of\nthe coolant temperature. This parameter, usually downplayed, showed to be very important. The profile of power curves\nshow that hybrid panel’s power is superior to simple PV panel and its thermal power is inferior to that of a thermal collector. However, the global efficiency of the hybrid panel is the highest. Most of these results confirm those of the literature\nwhile other results bring more information. '''Application/Improvements:''' Such a system could allow collecting the heat\nproduced by the PV panels for water heating systems and more, with an optimization of the coolant flow for a better result.\n\n== Keywords ==\n\n energy, solar energy, solar power, photovoltaics, sustainable development, Mechanical engineering, renewable energy, Energy, solar thermal\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = energy, solar energy, solar power, photovoltaics, sustainable development, Mechanical engineering, renewable energy, Energy, solar thermal\n| sdg = SDG07 Affordable and clean energy, SDG09 Industry innovation and infrastructure\n| published = 2018\n| organizations = Université Joseph Ki-Zerbo\n| language = en\n| authors = User:Khayibo, Boureima Dianda, Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice KY, Emmanuel Ouedraogo, and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo\n| description = Hybrid solar collectors blend heat and power.
