Higher Initial Costs: The initial cost of a solar PV system can be relatively high in comparison to solar thermal systems, with the average price of a 6kW residential solar PV system in the U.S. ranging from $17,430 to $23,870. The price varies based on several factors, including the location, the system size, and the installation company.
Solar power generation can be divided into two technological schemes: photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP). The principle of CSP generation is to utilize large-scale mirrors to collect solar thermal energy, heat it through a heat exchanger to produce water steam, and then supply it to traditional turbine generators for electricity generation [1].
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) technology integrates solar panels seamlessly into the building envelope, serving a dual purpose of generating power while fulfilling structural or thermal insulation functions [4]. In the past decades, BIPV technologies, especially BIPV building envelopes, have gained increasing application, due to the global push towards sustainable

Due to the implementation of the "double carbon" strategy, renewable energy has received widespread attention and rapid development. As an important part of renewable energy, solar energy has been widely used worldwide due to its large quantity, non-pollution and wide distribution [1, 2].The utilization of solar energy mainly focuses on photovoltaic (PV)

The results show that the system features high solar power generation efficiency (up to 39%) and good potential for solar thermal energy storage (up to 60%) as a result of both spectral filtering and the manipulation of individual linear Fresnel reflectors, which also considerably enhance control flexibility. To allow these conventional
Based on the current solar thermal energy efficiency, an average CSP plant such as a tower solar power plant, dish Stirling, or parabolic trough plant requires the use of a land area of approximately 10 acres per megawatt (MW) of power generating capacity, which is more demanding than that for solar PV power generation (6–8 acres).

In solar thermal technologies, solar energy is converted into thermal energy for domestic and/or comm ercial applications such as drying, heating, cooling, cooking, etc .
Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert a portion of the incident solar radiation into electrical energy and the remaining energy (>70 %) is mostly converted into thermal energy.
Pros and cons of solar PV vs thermal Efficiency. In terms of pure efficiency at harvesting energy from the sun, solar thermal is more efficient at around 70% while PV is around 15-20%. So in theory thermal panels will require less roof space than PV. But this is somewhat misleading.
Here, we design a compact, chip-based device that combines two different MOST systems operating either in the liquid or in the solid state with a novel designed MEMS-TEG to demonstrate the storage of solar energy to the release of heat energy and the cascading energy flow to the harvester that is finally used to generate power (see Scheme 1).Two
