“…Hsueh et al [17] has reported that they have achieved the efficiency from 16.5% to 22.02% in their series-connected CuInGaSe2 (CIGS) PV cell with a TEG hybrid system. In another study, Lin et al [18] studied the load matching in a PV-TEG hybrid system and the results proved that the solar irradiance, load resistances, and structure parameters of the TEG was corelated with the optimum performance of the hybrid system. In recent study, Wei Zhu et al [19] fabricated a thermal concentrated PV-TEG hybrid system with optimized thermal management.…”

An experiment has been carried out to prove the practicality of converting the waste heat from PV panels into electrical energy by observing the temperature levels and distribution of a conventional monocrystalline silicon (Mono c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) panels for photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator (PV-TEG) hybrid application of a Hybrid Agrivoltaic (HAV) Greenhouse System project. From the observation, highest temperature of the PV backside panel surface reached 81.1°C during solar noon and expected to reach even higher during hot season. The highest power output from the 160 numbers TEG modules in series and parallel configuration were calculated to reach 119 Watt during that time at ΔT 56.1 °C. This output is expected to fluctuate over the weather temperature fluctuation throughout the day. Meanwhile, for the heat distribution, it is best to apply the TEG arrays with optimized PV angle setup, where the temperature seems to be distributed evenly at all time, to provide optimum heat source to the TEG modules. It was concluded that the excess heat from the bottom surface of PV panels can be utilize by converting the heat via temperature differential to harvest additional electrical energy by integrating TEG system, hence maximizing the potential of solar radiation capacity in generating clean renewable energy.

The electrical performance evolution of a system combining photovoltaic (PV) and thermoelectric generator (TE) is evaluated using thermal resistance calculations. The hybrid system combines a commercial monocrystalline silicon PV and a commercial bismuth telluride TE that is integrated with heat sinks. Here, photovoltaic modules could be cooled using thermoelectric components, leading to an increase in its output power. Additionally, extra thermal electricity is generated from the temperature difference between the backside of photovoltaic modules and heat sinks. Compared with the PV, the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the PV/TE integrated system is increased by 3.9 % and the total system efficiency is up to 5.9 %.

“…The high irradiance and low ambient temperature climates, exhibited in southern European countries, showed that deployment of such an integrated device beneficial for generation. Load matching on a hybrid device was investigated and integrated design within a system-level focus have the capability of producing more power than the PV cells alone [7]. The design, simulation, manufacture and electrical test results of a novel hybrid CPV receiver design with solid-state thermoelectric Peltier cooling technology are presented here.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the design, manufacture and electrical characterization of novel hybrid III:V Concentrator Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric receivers. Addition of an encapsulating and spectral homogenizing single active surface secondary optic lens increased the solar cell electrical power output from 7.66mW (ALPHA no cooling) to 18.20mW (KAPPA with TE cooling). The effective optical concentration of the optics, based on short circuit current, was x2.4. A linear irradiance vs maximum power receiver output relationship was observed (R 2 =0.9978), confirming good optical alignment during manufacture and likewise internal current matching of the series-connected triple-junction cell. An indepth COMSOL model for simulated evaluation of the synergistic thermally-dependent parameters inherent to hybrid devices was built and experimentally validated.
