To address these issues, PV–thermal (PVT) technology, which combines PV with a thermal absorber to dissipate excess heat and convert it into additional thermal energy, is being rapidly developed.

One study found that amorphous silicon PVs generate 3-6 times more energy than is required to produce them. 10 PV cells are made of semiconductor materials that free electrons when struck by light, producing electrical current.

This means that, under contingency, a photovoltaic (PV) and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) must supply power to the auxiliary systems for at least 10 h.
