Performance Analysis of Thermoelectric Generator Implemented on Non-Uniform Heat Distribution of Photovoltaic Module

In this work, an individual TEG module test method was used to measure and analyze data from specific types of TEG, and a record of the maximum power output under different temperature variations is obtained. Then, the performance of the TEG system is measured and evaluated with a test bench where the modules are attached at  different backside areas of generic PV panels.
