This project focuses on enhancing the efficiency of solar energy systems by integrating a thermoelectric module with a photovoltaic module using a micro-channel heat pipe. The innovative design aims to reduce costs while maintaining high electricity output, ultimately improving the viability of solar energy solutions.
Integrating a thermoelectric (TE) module into a PV module can convert the accumulated heat of the PV into electricity, thus increasing electricity yield of the unit. A traditional spectrum integration PV-TE unit, by coupling the equal sized TE and PV modules, can harvest 30% more electricity than the PV unit alone.
However, the pair-arrangement between the PV and TE modules appears to be economically unfeasible, owing to the significantly higher cost and lower power output of the TE module.
