Performance and optimization of a BIPV/T solar air collector for building fenestration applications

•A building-integrated hybrid photovoltaic-thermal air collector was tested.•A maximum temperature rise of 31°C was observed for lower angles during the winter.•Thermal and electrical efficiencies of 25–40% and 6–8%, respectively, were recorded.•A 2-D model was built in COMSOL Multiphysics to optimi...
