The present work investigates outdoor recitals and characteristics of hybrid PVT collectors and compares using non-cooled Photo-Voltaic (PV) collectors on a clear day at Khamshet, Pune, India. The hybrid PVT is designed, fabricated, and mounted on the terraces of the institute to ensure maximum radiation will fall on PV and PVT collector. The spiral circular thermal absorber is manufactured and placed at the backside of the photovoltaic to lower the surface temperature by extracting heat through water flowing through the absorber. The experimentation is performed at 0.03 kg/sec of water and natural cooling circulation is adopted for experimental work. The uncertainty analysis is also performed to ensure the accuracy of the results. The investigation observed that the PVT collector is superior to the PV system from electrical and thermal efficiency viewpoints. The cutback in PV module temperature was observed in a variation of 8.7-13.7%, which justifies using the water-cooling technique. The maximum electrical and thermal efficiency of 6.93 % and 52.7% were found for PVT collectors while sole maximum electrical efficiency of 5.62 % was found for PV collectors. This study concludes that the PVT collector has better performance characteristics than the PV collector and can be further enhanced using different fluid and thermal absorber designs.
