NOVELTY - The module (100) has encapsulation layer (104) to conduct light energy from solar radiation and transmits light energy to layer of solar cells (106). Encapsulation layer (108) conducts heat energy from layer of solar cells. Thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer (110) provides electrical insulation and thermal heat transfer. Thermal collector (112) in contact with thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer is adapted to contain heat transfer fluid. Thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer is placed in between layer (108) and thermal collector.    USE - Integrated photovoltaic and thermal (PVT) module.    ADVANTAGE - The thermally insulated layer prevents a loss of heat energy from thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer. The integrated photovoltaic and thermal module is adhered or fastened with an adjacent silicone or polyolefin based encapsulation layer and thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer to conduct excess heat from the layer of solar cells into thermal collector. The PVT module has higher temperature stability with increased thermal conductivity transfer between a PV layer e.g. a layer of solar cells and a heat-transfer medium e.g. fluid and air. The second encapsulation includes thermally conductive filler to increase thermal conductivity of the second encapsulation layer. The thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer includes a layer of fluoropolymer which enhances electrical insulation between the layer of solar cells and thermal collector. The thermally insulated layer is placed below the thermal collector to prevent a loss of heat energy from the thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer. The back casing is placed below the thermally insulated layer to provide a mechanical support to the integrated PVT module. The thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer enhances personal safety by providing electrical insulation between the layer of solar cells and the thermal collector using the layer of polymer. The thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer enhances thermal conductivity to the thermal collector from the layer of solar cells. The aluminum/copper sheet enhances thermal conductivity and prevents moisture penetration into the layer of solar cells from a rear side of the integrated PVT module, so as to protect the layer of solar cells from degradation. The thermally conductive fillers are added to the second encapsulation layer to increase thermal conductivity of the second encapsulation layer. The thermally conductive and electrically insulating layer is placed in between the second encapsulation layer and the thermal collector to provide electrical insulation and thermal heat transfer. Ceramic nano or micron sized fillers similar to a magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, silicon carbide, boron nitride and aluminum nitride is used for improving the thermal conductivity of polyolefin and silicone. Thermally conductive EVA, and a thermally conductive PVB encapsulation material are used for low temperature heating applications.
