    Abstract :

    Abstract- In this article study the discussion is based on experiment by using working model and it is about on possible implementation methods on Hybrid Solar PV-Thermal latent heat storage system. The PCM Base latent heat will directly imbedded with solar PV module that will transfer extra heat directly towards hot water solar thermal system without any atmospheric heat loss, so by this problem of over heating of solar PV system can be managed up to some extent. If module temperature reduces then automatically the output power will increases as well as heat use can be maximize for solar thermal system, so by using this combination the overall efficiency of hybrid solar PV thermal system can be increased up to considerable extent.The results indicate the system thermal efficiency can reach 41.3% and photovoltaic conversion efficiency can reach 13.59% during the testing period. The water tank temperature can be risen from 26.2℃to 61.02℃.
