Hybrid PV/Thermal collector is one of the important modern technologies to harnessed the energy from solar energy. One of the disadvantages of solar cells is the reduction in its efficiency as a result of increasing in its temperature, especially in the warm and sunny days. Also due to the dust storms in Iraq, the dust deposition on the front surface of hybrid solar collectors is one of the greatest issues facing the researchers. In order to study the effect of the dust on the thermal and electrical performance of the hybrid solar collector, a PV/T collector was designed and manufactured. The result showed that the dust effects largely on the performance of the hybrid solar collector. The results showed the thermal efficiency decreased 13.4% in case of dust existence on the outer surface of collector. Also, the highest electrical efficiency in case of clean collector was (10.24%), whereas the highest electrical efficiency in case of dust existence it was (5.67%). Also, the total efficiency of the hybrid collector was decreased by 17.5% for the dusty collector comparable with the clean collector.
