Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar collectors are among the innovative technologies for converting solar energy into both electricity and heat. These systems, by combining electricity and heat production in a single unit, increase energy efficiency and enable optimized energy consumption. Alongside this technology, vapor-compression heat pumps are considered clean and effective solutions for meeting the thermal demands of buildings. The integration of these two technologies into a unified system enables efficient use of renewable energy sources and contributes to reducing fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This review study examines the current status of combined systems incorporating heat pumps and hybrid solar collectors, and analyzes the integration methods, configurations, and design of subsystem components. According to scientific studies, the use of hybrid solar collectors as evaporators in direct-expansion heat pumps shows better performance compared to indirect-expansion systems. The coefficient of performance (COP) in these systems ranges from 2.7 to 7, while for indirect-expansion systems, this value is reported between 2.3 and 4.5. Recent advancements in control strategies, compressor design, and refrigerant development have had a positive impact on the performance of these systems. This technology is considered an effective solution for nearly zero-energy buildings and holds high potential for energy optimization and carbon emission reduction in the building sector. Further development and research in this field can enhance the performance and scalability of these systems.
