Hybrid Energy Generation: Electrical Power and Hot Water simultaneously.

Transoptic Hybrid System generates about ~250 Watts of Electrical Power and ~350 Watts of Thermal Power Per square meter. Every Sq Meter is about 18 sq.ft . 

Hybrid PV panels
   HPV require 150 sq.ft of flat roof top area for every 1 K Watts of electrical energy generation
   Maximum of 50% efficiency. We generate hot water and electrical energy simultaneously.


 

Energy and Cost Saving Calculation:

Transoptic T2.5K system ($15,000 installed) will save about $114 per year.
Here is a rough energy savings calculation for a typical 18 square foot ( ~ 2 square meter) collector,
T2.5 K requires 10 such collectors.
