Static energy converters convert thermal radiation into electricity by means of photo voltaic diode. Main Components are: Thermal Emitter Photovoltaic Diode Spectral control component(filter) 1. Emitter converts heat into radiation. 2. This is selectively filtered by optical filter. Part of it is transmitted to PV diode and the rest is reflected back to emitter. 3. The PV diode converts the transmitted photons with energies in excess of the diode energy band gap into charge carriers.
