“…Beyond photovoltaic (PV) energy, which directly converts solar radiation into electrical energy, thermal energy can also be harnessed for electricity generation. One promising method involves using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) [8]. Utilizing the Seebeck effect, thermoelectric generators (TEGs) demonstrate their capability to convert thermal energy directly into electrical energy.…”

“…Notably, the photovoltaic panels absorb heat and store thermal energy during operation. Applying this technique to the opposite face of the thermoelectric generators on solar panels efficiently recovers the underutilized thermal energy in conventional panels [8]. It constitutes a hybrid photovoltaic and thermoelectric (PV-TE) module that concurrently leverages the photovoltaic and Seebeck effects.…”

“…Notably, the CoPVTG system facilitates heat recovery through air flowing through the air cavity, simultaneously cooling down the PV temperature and enhancing its electrical performance. Additionally, the thermal energy produced by PVs can be converted into electrical energy, with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) being one possible strategy [8].…”

The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to around 8 billion today. The Population Division of the United Nations predicts a global population of approximately 10.4 billion people by the end of the century. That represents over 2 billion more people. Moreover, the global community is currently experiencing a precarious state due to the enduring repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic across all sectors, including energy. Given the rising global population and the limited availability of primary energy resources, we must reach a balance between the demands of a growing human population and the planet’s carrying capacity. The dreadful conflict in Ukraine has precipitated an enormous energy crisis. This crisis has served as a warning to the world population of how much it depends on this resource to survive. In France, the building sectors, specifically residential and tertiary, account for 45% of the total final energy consumption. It is the first energy consumer of the country and one of the most polluting (i.e., about 34% of CO2 emitted by France). Consequently, we must consider alternative energy resource forms (i.e., substitution energy forms). Harvesting energy from the building envelope may be a viable technique for partially satisfying the electricity demands of building users. In this context, scientific research offers considerable potential for developing more innovative and efficient systems. This article aims to review the state-of-the-art of advances on the subject to orient and further optimize energy production systems, particularly electricity. This work addresses several points of view: it discusses the overall backdrop of the present study and introduces the subject; details the research strategy and procedures used to produce this paper; develops the state-of-the-art on the potential for generating or recovering power from the building envelope; presents the SWOT analysis of the earlier-described systems. Finally, it concludes by offering findings and viewpoints.
