TL;DR: A comprehensive, up-to-date review of the governing scientific basics, system variations, and technological advances in concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collectors is presented in this article.
Abstract: Concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collectors have been gaining ever-increasing attention from the scientific community and industrial developers due to their promising potential to pave the way for the penetration of solar energy into modern day power generation technologies. CPVTs׳ flexibility, manufacturability, high efficiency, and multi-output nature inspired many innovative designs and design improvements available in the literature. In this study, a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the governing scientific basics, system variations, and technological advances in CPVT systems will be presented. The study is split into two parts. The first part covers CPVTs׳ characteristics and design considerations in addition to a review of the principals and technological advances in the solar components that compose a CPVT (i.e., photovoltaic cells, solar thermal collectors, concentrator optics, tracking mechanisms, concentrated photovoltaics, and concentrated solar thermal systems). While the second part thoroughly covers CPVTs׳ published studies, application areas, performance assessment, commercial initiatives, and research prospects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybridized power panel that can simultaneously generate power from sunlight, raindrop, and wind is proposed and demonstrated, when any or all of them are available in ambient environment.
Abstract: With the solar panels quickly spreading across the rooftops worldwide, solar power is now very popular. However, the output of the solar cell panels is highly dependent on weather conditions, making it rather unstable. Here, a hybridized power panel that can simultaneously generate power from sunlight, raindrop, and wind is proposed and demonstrated, when any or all of them are available in ambient environment. Without compromising the output performance and conversion efficiency of the solar cell itself, the presented hybrid cell can deliver an average output of 86 mW m−2 from the water drops at a dripping rate of 13.6 mL s−1, and an average output of 8 mW m−2 from wind at a speed of 2.7 m s−1, which is an innovative energy compensation to the common solar cells, especially in rainy seasons or at night. Given the compelling features, such as cost-effectiveness and a greatly expanded working time, the reported hybrid cell renders an innovative way to realize multiple kinds of energy harvesting and as an useful compensation to the currently widely used solar cells. The demonstrated concept here will possibly be adopted in a variety of circumstances and change the traditional way of solar energy harvesting.
