1. A hybrid solar thermal and photovoltaic power generation system with a pumped thermal energy storage system with a mode switchable heat pump/heat engine apparatus comprising:
a. a hybrid solar thermal and photovoltaic panel array;
b. a mode switchable heat pump/heat engine apparatus comprising: a mode switchable motor/generator apparatus and a mode switchable compressor/turbine apparatus; the motor/generator apparatus is connected with the compressor/turbine apparatus through one shaft;
c. a high temperature heat exchanger;
d. a thermal storage system;
e. a low temperature heat exchanger;
f. a control system;
wherein, the photovoltaic portion of the hybrid solar thermal and photovoltaic array is electrically connected to the mode switchable motor/generator apparatus through a switcher system; the thermal portion of the hybrid solar thermal and photovoltaic panel array is connected to the mode switchable compressor/turbine apparatus through pipes, pumps, and automatic controlled valves; the mode switchable compressor/turbine apparatus is connected to the high temperature heat exchanger through pipes, pumps, and valves; the high temperature heat exchangers is connected to both the thermal storage system and the low temperature heat exchanger through pipes, and automatic controlled valves; the low temperature heat exchanger is connected both to the mode switchable compressor/turbine and thermal portion of the hybrid solar thermal and photovoltaic panel array through pipes, and automatic controlled valves.
