Abstract

One method for harvesting solar energy is a hybrid solar system known as the photovoltaicthermoelectric (PV-TE) system. Thermoelectric (TE) modules are attached to the rear of a PV module in this configuration, allowing waste heat from the PV module to generate additional electrical energy. This configuration also cools the PV module, increasing the overall system efficiency. Airflow is enabled through a duct located behind the cold side to improve the electrical output of the thermoelectric generator (TEG). This study aims to assess the efficacy of CPV/TE systems when air is used as the cooling medium in hot environments. To accomplish this, a mathematical model is used to examine the electrical power generated by the system. The results show that the proposed hybrid collector generates a peak of 140 W/m², 116.3 W/m²of electrical power from concentrated solar cells, and 4.7 W and 2.96W from TEG modules on a hot summer and winter considered days, respectively.
