Experimental dataset of seasonal behaviour of a hybrid solar tile

The state of the art of research related to thermophotovoltaic hybrid panels has been widely described by Zondag et al. [1,2] and Michael et al. [3]. Through a seasonal experimental campaign, conducted with an outdoor test bench in Forlì (North-East of Italy), a hybrid thermophotovoltaic tile has been investigated. The double resin hybrid tile, patented by University of Bologna, is mechanically resistant, walkable and can be used to cover surfaces in order to obtain a full exploitation of the horizontal covers from an exergetic and functional point of view. The glass cover is replaced with a resin one that aims to achieve comparable optical properties but also to improve the mechanical characteristics, making it walkable and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. An extensive dataset was collected over several days of seasonal testing with the aim of determining its electrical and thermal performance compared to commercial PV (photovoltaic) panels of the same size placed in the same experimental apparatus.
