Residential rooftop PV systems have experienced significant growth in various countries, serving as a notable source of clean energy for households, alongside conventional solar hot water technology. To optimise the performance of these environmentally friendly systems, integrating PV/thermal hybrid systems proves to be a promising solution for designing zeroenergy residential buildings. This research focuses on modelling a new design for a PV/Thermal (PVT) hybrid panel that utilises heat pipe technology for residential building applications. The electrical output of the PVT panels will contribute to the electrical residential load, while the heat pipe system will provide thermal output to the hot water system and assist in cooling the PV panels. The study verifies the performance model using experimental data for the PVT panel in Sydney. The investigation explores the transient changes in both heat gain rate by water and power production. The findings reveal that the PVT model could be used to estimate the number of PVT and PV-only panels required to cover residential hot water and electricity demand. These results indicate that the energy efficiency of the PVT panel design proposed in this research could surpass traditional PV panels by more than double. Additionally, the projected payback period for implementing the proposed system is estimated to be between 6-7 years, which is a shorter period compared to installing PV and solar hot water systems individually.
