Abstract. Introduction. In this article, a PV/T hybrid system was developed in the conditions of Namangan, which ensures stable operation of the substrate of biogas reactors at mesophilic temperature (35-40 °C) by effectively using excess heat generated in photovoltaic modules. Although PV modules play an important role in converting solar energy into electrical energy, their efficiency decreases due to excess heat generated on their surface during operation. This heat, in most cases, simply dissipates into the atmosphere. Methods and materials. The heat generated on the surface of the photoelectric module itself has great energy potential. If it is collected through a fluid circuit, heat can be extracted from each module. Thanks to this, a decrease in the temperature of the photovoltaic module is achieved, along with an increase in the efficiency of generation, the transfer of accumulated heat to the liquid or air. Results. The research results showed that the transfer of heat, rising to 60-75 °C on the surface of photovoltaic panels, into the biogas reactor through a special liquid circuit reduces the load of the electric heater by 40-60%. It has been established that PV/T collectors generate 1.2-2.0 kWh_th/m2 of heat per day, and an area of 5-6 m2 is sufficient to maintain a small-volume (300 L) reactor in mesophilic mode. The integrated system will save 500-800 kWh of electricity per year and increase methane yield by 15-25%. Conclusion. Biogas reactors operate effectively in mesophilic mode. A 5°C decrease in temperature reduces methane yield by 20-30%. Therefore, heat transfer through the PV/T collector not only reduces the load on the electric heater.
