The PVT modules reach an electric output of 395 W combined with a solar thermal output of 1,522 W thanks to 108 monocrystalline half-cut cells based on passivated emitter and rear cell technology and installed on a flat plate collector with an efficiency of 60 percent. While standard PV modules reach cell temperatures of 65 degrees Celsius, the PVT modules are capped at 30 degrees Celsius when they are connected to a heat pump. The Sunmaxx PX-1 weighs just around 3.5 kilograms per square meter more than a comparable PV module. The efficient and cost-effective generation of solar power and heat supply makes the most of restricted space.
