Abstract Solar trigeneration systems based on photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors are promising for enhancement of solar energy utilization. Single-effect LiBr-H2O absorption chillers are usually employed in these systems. Since the temperature of solar heat from PVT collectors is low, half-effect absorption chillers are potential alternatives for performance improvement.
