The Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) technology has attracted many researchers and scholars in order to increase the level of renewable energy utilization minimizing the issues caused by climate change especially the global warming which has the main roots on the greenhouse emissions produced by nonrenewable energy utilization. A PVT module is a combination of photovoltaic (PV) technology and solar thermal (ST) technology that receives and converts solar radiation into electrical and thermal energy at the same time leaving less greenhouse emissions. Even though the PVT technology seems simple in some designs and has low utilization cost, the inadequate performance and initial costs of PVT modules can slowdown their market. Based on research work outcomes and analysis, the design components of PVT modules have a strong influence on the performance. Analyzing the performance impacts of different main components of PVT module is very important not only for researchers but also for manufacturers because it points out both weaknesses and strengths for further improvements and invention of the technology to meet the market requirements. In this paper we deeply investigated the performance of PVT modules and the performance influence of each of the main components of PVT module by making a comprehensive review, finding analysis, summarizing and presenting the outcomes.

光伏/热能（PVT）技术吸引了许多研究人员和学者，以提高可再生能源利用水平，最大限度地减少气候变化特别是全球变暖引起的问题，其主要根源在于不可再生能源利用产生的温室气体排放。PVT 模块是光伏 (PV) 技术和太阳能热 (ST) 技术的结合，可接收太阳辐射并将其转换为电能和热能，同时减少温室气体排放。尽管 PVT 技术在某些设计中看似简单且使用成本低，但 PVT 模块的性能和初始成本不足可能会减缓其市场发展。根据研究工作成果和分析，PVT 组件的设计组件对性能有很大影响。分析 PVT 组件不同主要组件的性能影响不仅对研究人员而且对制造商都非常重要，因为它指出了进一步改进和发明技术以满足市场需求的弱点和优势。在本文中，我们通过全面回顾、发现分析、总结和展示结果，深入研究了 PVT 组件的性能以及 PVT 组件每个主要组件的性能影响。
