Design and construction of a thermoelectric

generator by using solar thermal energy
This research aimed to design and construct a thermoelectric generator by using solar energy as a heat source,
a parabolic dishes having diameter 1.5 m. with a focal length 0.5 m. is used to concentrate the solar radia-
tion. Solar thermal energy is absorbed by a sheet of aluminum on focal zone. The hot side of thermoelectric
generator (TEG) device was mounted on an aluminum sheet, heat sink with dimensions 120 x 200 x 50 mm.
and cooling fans were installing on the cold side of TEG. Our experiment on 28th and 29th march 2016 at
department of physics, faculty of science ubon ratchathani university on the north east of Thailand. Perform
collection of the data from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. From the result of experiment, at 12:30 on 28th March max-
imum temperature from solar radiation heat on hot side of TEG is 515.7 K, when intensity of solar energy is
1092 w/mˆ2 and the maximum power output is 6.28 W.
