Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) is a type of technology that generates electricity and heat simultaneously at the point of use. The generated electricity could be used on site or exported to the grid while the thermal output could be utilized for space and water heating. There is a lot of research for solar air heating with experiment or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), but CFD has the disadvantage that it would indicate impractical results. In this paper, a numerical PVT baseline model was developed and validated with Separate Effect Test (SET) data to increase reliability. The numerical study was conducted by considering the effect of baffle lengths and baffle slopes on outlet temperature, total heat transfer and pressure drop inside PVT air module. An optimum PVT baffle length and slope design were suggested. The baseline numerical PVT model agreed well with the test data set as indicated by 1.25% error for inlet-outlet temperatures difference. The sensitivity study was conducted by changing the PVT baffle length and slope. The optimum baffle design was concerned with both heat transfer and pressure drop at the same time with ratio. The baffle length should be kept under 150 mm and baffle slope should be greater than 30 degrees to achieve better air mixing in PVT air channel and unit heat transfer compared to baffle slope less than 30 degrees.
