Abstract:

Solar energy is considered one of the promising technology. However, still has many factors affecting the efficiency of the output power of the solar systems, such as collector temperature and rapid changes in irradiance. Many researchers have applied different active cooling methods; to solve the heat problem in the Photovoltaic cell which required external power. In this research paper, the main objective is to convert the unwanted temperature and convert it into electrical power, simultaneously to cool down the photovoltaic panel without using external power. The design of the thermoelectric generator and 5w photovoltaic panel attached to heat-sink had been designed and fabricated to be. The experimental investigation had been carried out to analyze the temperature impact on the combined system photovoltaic cell-Thermoelectric Generator. Outdoor results showed 2.5 % improvements in the average PV cell efficiency when TEG was applied to the system.
