MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114144 A) filed by Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute Of Technology, Jalandhar, Punjab, on Nov. 20, 2025, for 'novel spectral beam-splitting photovoltaic/thermal system for space heating and power generation.'

Inventor(s) include Dr Sanjay; Dr Satyender Singh; Dr Ranchan Chauhan; Dr Shishram Rebari; and Er. Ashish Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A novel spectral beam-splitting PV/T system (100) for space heating and power generation having a flat platform (102) comprising beam-splitting channel (104) configured to receive incident solar radiation and to split the incident solar radiation into at least two fractions. A photovoltaic panel (106) convert a first fraction of incident split solar radiation into electricity. A beam-splitting fluid recirculating unit (108) circulates a cold beam-splitting fluid in the beam-splitting channel (104), to absorb a second fraction of incident radiation. An air heating unit (122) configured to draw cold air from surrounding and circulate into a duct integrated into flat platform (102) to absorb convective thermal loss from backside of photovoltaic panel (106) and absorb heat from hot beam splitting fluid flowing into a serpentine absorber tube (128). The heated air exits the duct through at least one outlet of the duct for space heating applications."
