Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV/T) System

Photovoltaic-Thermal (PV/T) System
  A photovoltaic system that, in addition to converting sunlight into electricity, collects the residual heat energy and delivers both heat and electricity in usable form. Also called a total energy system.
  Solar Electric Glossary
  ***
  A solar energy system that produces electricity with a PV module, and collects thermal energy from the module for heating. There are no commercially available systems available (as of 11/97).
