Abstract

Everyday, newer technologies are being developed in the field of power generation. Engineers are encouraged to find better or alternative solutions to the existing system. The ultimate aim of engineers today is to replace power generation with non-conventional energy harvesting methods as the reserves of fossil fuels like oil, coal will soon be depleted, and they also lead to more pollution. Also, non-conventional energy provides a clean environment to the future generation. In renewable energy, solar energy application has a wider use for high-efficiency energy conversion. Photovoltaic devices absorbs the energy of photons from the sun, and the energy conversion of the solar cell is based on the band gap of the PV materials. A little amount of thermal energy is produced in the solar cell. When there is no sunlight, power generation is affected. With the utilisation of thermal energy for the solar and compensation of power with solar, the hybrid model is a better solution. The use of thermal energy in the production of electricity makes it possible to use the principles of the Seebeck effect. According to Seebeck effect, temperature difference is obtained in two ends of dissimilar metals, on applying a potential difference. The Peltier module follows the principles of the Seebeck effect. This paper analyses the combination of solar and Peltier module and reviews their performance. In addition, this paper would present the challenges and improvements in the field of the solar and Peltier module.

Keywords

Seebeck Effect, Solar and Peltier Module, PVP (Photo Voltaic Peltier) System, Phase Changing Material.
