Innovative heat pipe-based photovoltaic/thermoelectric (PV/TEG) generation system

PV systems in practice experience excessive thermal energy dissipation that is inseparable from the photo-electric conversion process. The temperature of PV cells under continuous illumination can approach 40°C above ambient, causing a drop in the electrical performance of about 30%. The significanc...
