A Solar Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric generator hybrid system is analyzed in the present study. The experimental setup was examined under Udaipur climatic conditions (24°35′7″ N; 73°42′45″ E). The I-V, P-V characteristics and efficiency of sub systems and hybrid system were estimated. The ambient temperature, the solar irradiation, the PV module surface and rear temperature, hot and cold side temperature of TEG, wind velocity affects the performance of the system. The overall efficiency of hybrid system was observed to be higher than the PV system alone. |
