    Abstract: A HYBRID PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF [0038] A hybrid system (10) includes a photovoltaic system (12) configured to receive solar energy and convert the solar energy into electrical energy. A cooling system (18) is coupled to the photovoltaic system (12) and configured to circulate a cooling fluid through the cooling system (18) so as to remove heat from the photovoltaic system (12) to cool the photovoltaic system (12). A first device (20) is coupled to the cooling system (18) via a temperature booster (22) and configured to receive the heated cooling fluid from the cooling system (18). The temperature booster (22) is configured to substantially increase the temperature of the heated cooling fluid fed from the cooling system (18) to the first device (20) from a first temperature to a second temperature. The first device (20) includes a waste heat recovery system (24) configured to generate electric power, a vapor absorption machine (26) configured to cool a second device (28), a hot water supply unit (20), a water distillation unit (32), a water desalination unit (34), or combinations thereof. c cpv (D I( M (N a 0 S0 E c cccax) L.L 0 ) )( I.- cCv, I> U > W a) o (0 I 1., 04 ( L)) L-C- L --- i0 ---
