Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors convert solar energy into thermal and photovoltaic energy. The thermal performance of a PVT collector with a twisted absorber tube and nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (Nano-PCM) was evaluated. The experiments were aimed to evaluate the photovoltaic, thermal and combination photovoltaic thermal efficiencies using an indoor solar simulator. Circular and twisted absorber tubes with Nano-PCM were evaluated in two designs. The working fluid was water with 0, 0.3, and 0.6 volume fractions of SiC nanofluids. The highest photovoltaic, thermal, and combined photovoltaic thermal efficiencies for the PVT-PCM with twisted tube and 0.6 nanofluids were 9.57, 84.74, and 94.31, respectively. The use of twisted absorber tubes with Nano-PCM increased the efficiency of the PVT collector. © 2023 The Authors
