Exergy-based optimization constraints for solar PVT panels and district

For example, a solar PV panel generates electric power at a modest efficiency upstream but misses thermal power generation. Therefore, the missed opportunity (exergy destruction) of generating thermal power requires another system like a boiler to offset the missed thermal power of the solar PV panel. This directly causes ΔCO 2 (Kilkis, 2012).
