Abstract :

The carbon credit earned and the CO2 mitigation from the single slope photovoltaic thermal (PVT) greenhouse dryer installed at SODHA BERS Complex Varanasi, India has been estimated in the present communication. The annual performance of the system with load condition has been investigated considering all type (a, b, c and d types) of weather condition of India. It has been found that the thermal energy and electrical energy were maximum for the month of May and minimum for month of September. The carbon credit earned by the system in a year on overall thermal energy basis is found to be USD 93.9 and on exergy basis it is USD 28.3.
