Test results from several performance improvements to PVT collector prototypes are presented, culminating in a thermal performance in open circuit mode which is similar to that of a good solar thermal collector. This collector prototype incorporates the required "fail-safe" stagnation protection feature. Remaining material and construction research and development needs are also indicated.enSolarthermie und OptikPhotovoltaische Module und KraftwerkeSolarthermieModulentwicklungBauwerksintegrierte Photovoltaikthermische SolaranlageGebrauchsdauer von Kollektoren und KomponentenWärmeübertragung und WärmetransportSolarthermische FassadenhybridPVTthermal performanceprotectionthermal collector insulationconference paper
