ATU Research Symposium
This research is focused on an innovative approach to improving the efficiency of a well- established renewable energy source. Solar cells are becoming more prominent as the power industry is shifting towards using more clean energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells can only absorb a portion of the irradiance spectrum. The portion that is not absorbed raises the temperature of the system. The efficiency of PV cells drastically decreases as the temperature of the module rises and more energy is lost in the form of heat waste. Thermoelectric generator (TEG), when combined with PV cell, thrives off of the PV …
