The technology of converting solar radiation using innovative Ʌ-photomodules and a collector with an optical concentrator is considered. Silicon photocells generate a photocurrent and heat the intermediate heat carrier up to ≈ 650С, which releases thermal energy in the linear heat exchanger of the consumed water of the external circulation loop. Using experimental data on the characteristics of photovoltaic cells and double-sided collectors, a method for engineering calculation of the specific power of innovative Ʌ - photo modules was developed and computer modeling of the performance of cogeneration units was carried out.
