8. Naked Energy
Smart technology
• Hybrid solar panel providing electricity
and hot water
• Combined Photo Voltaic and thermal
energy system
• PV inside evacuated tube with water
flowing though (Thermosyphon)
• PV provides electricity
• Water keeps PV at optimal temperature
and provides source of hot water
