Combined Photovoltaic Thermal Solar Systems

I was looking at the thermal solar system my daughter's friend has at her house, and I wondered if anyone was selling a combined system. Since a huge cost is the housing and photovoltaic does not like to much heat, this could be a win win solution.

IEEE has done some work on it - Control of a combined photovoltaic / thermal energy syste

Seems to be a lot of research last energy crisis into this, but I am not seeing any products yet.
