Global advancements of solar thermoelectric generators
The growing interest in renewable energy resources caused by the depletion of fossil fuels and the impacts of climate change and global warming on environment caused by power generation
In terms of temperature, the temperature of solar photovoltaic modules will affect the performance of the photovoltaic system, which is mainly manifested in the reduction of photoelectric conversion efficiency and the abatement of photovoltaic power generation [27 ].
This chapter introduces various solar thermoelectric technologies including micro-channel heat pipe evacuated tube solar collector incorporated thermoelectric power generation system, solar concentrating thermoelectric generator using the micro-channel heat pipe array, and novel photovoltaic–thermoelectric power generation system.
Thermoelectric power generation (TEG) is the most effective process that can create electrical current from a thermal gradient directly, based on the Seebeck effect. Solar energy as renewable energy can provide the thermal energy to produce the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the thermoelectric device.
