Solar thermoelectric generator (STEG) is getting significant attention due to its wide applicability and limited thermoelectric conversion efficiency in recent years . STEG is a solid electronic device that converts heat energy from sun into electrical energy by utilizing the temperature difference across its two sides.
Solar-driven thermoelectric generators operate on the principle of the Seebeck effect. When TEGs are exposed to sunlight, they absorb solar radiation, which leads to the conversion of solar energy into heat. Consequently, a temperature gradient is generated between the two ends.
Thermoelectric generators integrated with PV/Ts TEG integrated photovoltaic panels not only produce additional power but also reduces the photovoltaic cell temperature which is a prominent factor to decrease efficiency.
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.
