Hybrid solar panel
The most adaptable hybrid
The first generation ECOVOLT hybrid panels incorporate a high-efficiency photovoltaic laminate with a new heat recovery design, that enables thermal energy to be produced while the PV laminate cools. The absence of a cover reduces the operating temperature of this panel, which maximizes its electrical output and improves its operation in hot climates. The result is a compact and lightweight hybrid panel, with dimensions identical to a conventional photovoltaic panel, capable of producing heat and electricity even in adverse climates.

High electrical performance
A common problem with photovoltaic panels is the loss of electrical performance when the panel increases in temperature. When it happend, the efficiency of the panel is reduced by up to 0.4% for each degree of increase in photovoltaic cells.
In a hybrid panel, the water cools the back, limiting the maximum temperature of the laminate. ECOVOLT hybrid panels are additionally made of a highly efficient monocrystalline silicon cell laminate and do not incorporate a cover on the front, allowing excess heat to escape. This configuration guarantees a good operation of the panel even in the warmest climates, where the rest of the photovoltaic panels have limitations.
Limited surface, greater performance
The use of hybrid solar panels allows us to reduce the necessary collection area by up to 40% compared to traditional solar systems, made by photovoltaic modules and thermal collectors. ECOVOLT hybrid panels have the same exterior size as a conventional photovoltaic panel (surface and thickness), which makes possible to optimize space and even reuse existing photovoltaic installations, but produces both types of energy.
The superior electrical performance of this hybrid panel model represents significant economic savings in energy consumption, as well as significantly reducing emissions into the atmosphere.
Why to install ECOVOLT solar panels
If we want to bet for the climate and choose renewable energies, nowadays opting for solar energy is a guarantee of success, both economically and environmentally.
ECOVOLT hybrid solar panels are a safe bet for those places where you want to encourage electricity production. Its innovative design allows to combine the production of electrical and thermal energy in a panel of standard PV dimensions, optimizing the surface and maximizing the energy production per m2. Its high-efficiency laminate and exterior design guarantee good electrical performance even in hot weather.
With the installation of ECOVOLT hybrid panels, the savings in the energy bill and the conservation of the environment are effective from the first day.
