Abstract A novel roof tile thermoelectric generator (RT-TEG) was used to harvest electrical energy from a solar heat
source. The RT-TEG was fabricated and simulated by flat and curved thermoelectric modules consisting of
p-n junctions of p-Sb2Te3 and n-Bi2Te3, with an Al2O3 substrate at the top and bottom for heat absorption
and heat rejection. The RT-TEG was installed in a roof tile to act as a generator. The electrical voltage and power
values of the curved thermoelectric modules were higher than those of the flat thermoelectric module by 0.44 V
and 80 mW, at a temperature difference (ΔT) of 100 K.… More >
