“…Gallium antimonide (GaSb): GaSb cell with a band gap energy of 0.72 eV and the ability to operate under high radiation intensity can be preferred in TPV systems. On the other hand, GaSb cells have a high cost and should be considered in the use of TPV systems of these cells as they cause toxicity at high temperatures [7,23]. In TPV systems, binary compound materials such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphite (InP) and indium arsenide (InAs) are used, and also ternary or quaternary compound materials such as InGaAsSb, AlGaAsSb, InAsSb, InGaSb, InGaAs, CuInGaSe2 and InAsSbP [3,[5][6][7].…”

In this study, thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system components are examined and introduced, and theoretically, it is given information about the applicability of the system in a combi boiler. The latest developments in the components of the TPV system, heat source, emitter, filter and TPV cell, are explained. Also, the study state how the TPV system should be integrated into a combi boiler. It is estimated that the TPV system integrated into the combi boiler can produce 36.96 kWh per month in the case that it has 2% electrical efficiency. The study is stated that the higher TPV system electric power output can be achieved if the emitter, the filter and the TPV cell are matched in harmony with each other in the combi boiler, the distances of these components and the emitterfilter dimensions are arranged. Thus, a standard family in Turkey can be supplied a certain amount of monthly energy demand. Also, it is explained in the study the issues that should be taken into consideration when this system is integrated into the combi boiler.
