The current study assesses several water-based PVT system thermal absorber configurations. in plays a vital role efficiency evaluation as it lowers PV temperature and collects heat energy. aims to discover analyze advanced design by comparing well-received spiral circular absorbers non-cooled with proposed semi-circular varying flow maintains surface contact panels improves transfer thereby yielding better electrical efficiency. Simulated systems have constant water rate solar radiation. CFD-FLUENT software was preferred evaluate the steady-state conditions for investigation. Under ambient inlet temperatures of 299 K, at surface, discharge temperature, pressure drop were measured. It discovered that could effectively lower cooling. A zigzag most efficient since produced highest outlet lowest while also slightly raising drop. In comparison system, yields 11.97% more efficiency, an addition 76.75% noticed conventional provides 13.5% 54.8% 13.61% is obtained from system. had high initial investment INR 38809.00. showed simple payback 4.63 years, 28% return on promising 2.1 Debt Service Coverage Ratio. advisable consider incorporating prospective improvements
