Experimental study of harvest solar energy based on thermoelectric generator with configuration variations

Abstract The background of this research is to optimize the use heat from solar energy as harvesting based on a thermoelectric generator (TEG). One factors that affect TEG output configuration and resulting temperature difference. external captured by side cooling system causes significant This study uses trainer module consisting eight TEGs double heatsink functions for capture sun. Experiments show combination modules in series provides maximum significantly compared single parallel at same time with difference 12.870C.
