One of the biggest parts in world energy consumption belongs to buildings. Therefore, building designers are increasingly concerned with energy problems and turning to renewable energy sources. The most widely used systems in renewable energy use in buildings are photovoltaic panels. Studies on the efficiency of photovoltaic panels and the parameters that affect them continue today. One of the factors affecting the energy production of photovoltaic panels is panel temperature. There are many studies in the literature that have tried different methods for cooling panels that are overheated under intense radiation. In this study, with the "Thermoelectric Effect" method, it is aimed to increase the panel efficiency by solving both the heating problem of the photovoltaic panels used in buildings during the summer seasons and the snowfall of the panels in the winter seasons. In the study, experiments were made on the pilot model, and the applicability of the method was shown with the calculations made in the light of the results.

“…The solar cell represents a promising technique to solve energy crisis (Jiang et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020a ). Thermoelectric materials in STEGs have two advantages: (a) TEGs can act as a cooling system to decrease the temperature, which improves the performance of solar cells (Benghanem et al, 2016 ). (2) TEGs utilize the dissipated heat energy for additional electricity generation (Kil et al, 2017 ).…”

Though solar cells are one of the promising technologies to address the energy crisis, this technology is still far from commercialization. Thermoelectric materials offer a novel opportunity to convert energy between thermal and electrical aspects, which show the feasibility to improve the performance of solar cells via heat management and light harvesting. Polymer–inorganic thermoelectric nanocomposites consisting of inorganic nanomaterials and functional organic polymers represent one kind of advanced hybrid nanomaterials with tunable optical and electrical characteristics and fascinating interfacial and surface chemistry. During the past decades, they have attracted extensive research interest due to their diverse composition, easy synthesis, and large surface area. Such advanced nanomaterials not only inherit low thermal conductivity from polymers and high Seebeck coefficient, and high electrical conductivity from inorganic materials, but also benefit from the additional interface between each component. In this review, we provide an overview of interfacial chemistry engineering and electrical feature of various polymer–inorganic thermoelectric hybrid nanomaterials, including synthetic methods, properties, and applications in thermoelectric devices. In addition, the prospect and challenges of polymer–inorganic nanocomposites are discussed in the field of thermoelectric energy.

“…The future development goal is to refine the established theoretical model based on the measurement results. There is a large body of literature devoted to the experimental and numerical investigation of solar cells at constant temperatures [3][4][5], but very few researchers [6,7] investigate the phenomenon of transient temperature and its effects. The present study primarily contains results measured and simulated in the transient state, which also represents the novelty of the research work.…”

Many factors determine the efficient operation of a photovoltaic cell. These factors can be the intensity and spectral composition of illumination, the surface temperature, the ambient temperature, and the amount contaminations in the air and on the surface of the cells. The aim of the present study is to describe the effect of temperature gradient on the voltage and amperage changes, as well as the power output of a commercial solar cell through experimental methods and numerical simulations performed in MATLAB. The transient temperature investigations have allowed better understanding the time-dependent behavior of a solar cell under constant intensity illumination. Measurements prove that an increase in the surface temperature of the solar cell significantly reduces its performance. Measurements performed with the solar simulator show good conformity with simulated results.
