Numerical simulation and experimental validation of a high concentration photovoltaic/thermal module based on point-focus Fresnel lens

•A point-focus Fresnel lens photovoltaic/thermal module is proposed and studied.•The electrical model is based on the Shockley diode equation.•The thermal model is based on a two-dimensional steady-state heat transfer model.•An electrical efficiency of 28% and a thermal efficiency of 60% can be obtained.•Influence of independent parameters is investigated by validated models.
