Abstract
Solar cells are devices that generate energy from the sun. Solar radiation strikes a photovoltaic (PV) panel capable of collecting and converting the light it receives into electrical energy. In this study, the hybrid's output power equals the total maximum output power produced by the PV module and the thermoelectric (TE) generator devices. It has been researched that there will be an unusable waste of energy from the heat. Furthermore, the solar radiation can also cause the PV panel to warm up, reducing its production efficiency. Hence, to improve the effectiveness of the system's energy harvesting, this heat production was utilised using a TE generator. This study aims to develop a hybrid PV-TE generator for electrical energy harvesting and compare the efficiency of energy harvesting by individual solar panels and hybrid PV-TE generators. Three types of PV modules are used: PV Standalone, PV-TE Generator and PV-TE Generator with the heat sink. When the thermoelectric generator's body reacts with heat, it generates current and voltage, as shown on the digital multimeter and the digital temperature sensor. The output voltage and current are measured based on the total output of the solar panel and TEG module. In this study, the TEG produced more voltages as the temperature rose. Compared to stand-alone solar PV, the total efficiency of combining TEG with solar PV is improved.
