Various designs and studies of PVT modules are considered in the works (Kharchenko, Nikitin, Tikhonov & Gusarov, 2013; Zharkov, 2014; Kamilov, Muminov & Tursunov, 2008; Hosseini, Hosseini & Khorasanizadeh, 2011; Rawat, Debbarma, Mehrotra at all, 2014; Buonomano, Calise & Vicidimini, 2016; Strebkov, Panchenko & Filippchenkova, 2015; Tiwari. & Sodha, 2006; Rosell, Vallverdu, Lechon & Ibanez, 2005; Ibrahim, Jin, Daghigh, Salleh, Othman, Ruslan et al., 2009; Othman, Ruslan, Sopian & Jin, 2009; Sevela & Olesen, 2013; Ibrahim, Othman, Ruslan, Mat & Sopian, 2011; Dubey & Tay, 2012; Alfegi, Sopian, Othman & Yatim, 2007; Strebkov, Mayorov & Panchenko, 2013; Kharchenko, Panchenko, Tikhonov & Vasant, 2018; Kharchenko, 2014). For theoretical studies of PVT modules, mathematical modeling is widely used (Zakharchenko, Licea-Jiménez, Pérez-García, Vorobeiv, Dehesa Carrasco, Pérez-Robels et al., 2004; Bergene & Lovvik, 1995; Florschuetz, 1979; Sandnes & Rekstad, 2002). It is not surprising that in the reviewed papers attention is paid to the development of the optimal design of the heat-generating part of the PVT module, since the optimal design of such a module will ensure high efficiency of the photovoltaic installation and high output thermal power.
