TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a solar phase change thermal storage (SPCTS) heating system using a radiant-capillary-terminal (RCT) to effectively match the low temperature hot water, and an air source heat pump (ASHP) as an alternate energy.

TL;DR: In this article, a system for a hybrid solar energy collector comprising a CIGS photovoltaic energy collector and a thermally coupled working fluid casing for flowing heat out to heat sink is presented.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a system for a hybrid solar energy collector comprising a CIGS photovoltaic energy collector, the photovoltaic energy collector being thermally coupled to an energy absorbing working fluid casing for flowing heat out to heat sink The solar radiation is trapped in the photovoltaic collector, generating electrical power from the CIGS photovoltaic array, The array is cooled by the working fluid transferring unproductive heat away from the photovoltaic array and into an exterior heat sink via the cooling fluid circuit, thus making the photovoltaic array more efficient, while adding another energy source. Where thermal collection is not beneficial, a floating platform supported CIGS PV array may be cost effectively cooled to increase efficiency, by harnessing wave energy from a wave power device to flow cooling or evaporative spray water over the panel.
