\n European scientists have developed a solar module that can produce electricity and heat at the same time \u2014 in a potential breakthrough for low-cost clean energy generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The device is made up of a concave mirror and a thin, glass tube filled with photovoltaic cells. When the sun\u2019s rays strike the module, the mirror reflects them at the tube, generating electricity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The heat produced in the tube then warms up a transfer fluid that flows along the back of the solar cells in a system of pipes. This warm liquid can be used for heating and cooling buildings or for industrial app<\/a>lications.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis approach has the potential to make a significant contribution to the energy transition,\u201d said lead researcher Armin Buchroithner from the Graz University of Technology<\/a> in Austria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
