Abstract: This reivew briefly introduced the concept of the solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T)，its operation theory and classification，summarized research progresses on PV/T collectors’ structures and operating parameters analyzed PV/T-water，PV/T-refrigerant and PV/T-heat pipe，and described the common approaches of performance and economic evaluation. This review also identified the existing problems，such as complicated structures，medium leaking，large intial investment，and lack of studies of long-term dynamic performance. Further optimizations of current PV/T collectors’ structures and development of new PV/T collectors are needed for future applications of this technology.

Key words: PV/T collector, stucture, operating parameter, performance, evaluation
