Solar thermal power plants usually have a large field, or array, of collectors that supply heat to a turbine and generator. Several solar thermal power facilities in the United States have two or more solar power plants with separate arrays and generators.
Although, for past few decades these systems have found a vast application in power generation as well as hybrid systems, where thermoelectric generator accompanied by solar collector is not an exclusion. Thermal collectors can be classified as concentrating type and non-concentrating type.
Reproduced with permission from reference Solar thermoelectric generators are a specific application of concentrators that use thermoelectric elements and selective solar absorbers (SSAs) to convert concentrated sunlight into electricity.
Ohara et al. [59, 60] developed an exergetic analysis model for a residential solar combined heat and power generation system using TEGs, as depicted in Fig. 14. Their study reveals the promising application potential of this system.
