Thermoelectric Generator Powered by Focus Sunlight Reflection

摘要

The objective of this research is to convert heat from the sunlight to electricity by using thermoelectric generator (TEG). Electrical power is produced by temperature difference between the hot and cool junctions at the thermoelectric generator. The proposed system consists of magnifying glass and is equipped with the heat sink. The research shows that heat collected by sunlight reflection can be used to generate electrical energy through TEG. The maximum voltage 0.235 volts for one TEG at daytime peak.
