Abstract
The present invention relates to a close-contacting module capable of bringing a solar photovoltaic panel and a thermal collector of a solar photovoltaic-thermal panel into close contact without creating an interface. The close-contacting module comprises: a plurality of elastic members () which provide an elastic force that presses the thermal collector () toward the solar photovoltaic panel () from the backside of the thermal collector (); a support member () for supporting the elastic members (); and a pair of clips () provided at both ends of the support member () to fix the support member () to the edges of the solar photovoltaic-thermal panel ().
