Rittidech and Wannapakne (2007) investigated a closed-end oscillating heat pipe (CLOHP) solar collector. The collector thermal efficiency increased to 62% relative to HPSC. Rittidech et al. (2009) observed an enhanced efficiency of 76% using a CLOHP solar collector.
Faegh and Shafii (2017) designed a solar still with an external thermal storage system using heat pipe and PCM. In the daytime, the generated water vapors are circulated to the PCM chamber through a heat pipe. Wasted latent heat is stored in the PCM. After the sunset, stored heat in the PCM is circulated by heat pipe to saline water.
Thus, the heat pipe is an effective method to increase solar-thermal collectors' thermal energy production rate and increase the PV efficiency by heat pipe cooling. The hybrid technology improves the overall system efficiency.
The utilization of heat from the PV cooling makes the current system a hybrid system where panel cooling and energy recovery are possible. The heat pipe applications are also suitable for the concentrated heat flux solar applications owing to the need for a high heat transfer rate ( Singh, and Reddy, 2020 ).
