It makes a lot of sense to cool PV panels to improve their efficiency while harvesting the heat for water.
​
>Researchers at the Pusan National University in South Korea have developed a hybrid rooftop photovoltaic-thermal system that can also be installed as a retrofit solution where a PV system is already operating.
The system utilizes attachable solar collectors (ASCs) that are designed to be combined with PV panels, with the latter being turned into PVT modules on-site without their dismantling.
