Abstract

Thermoelectric cooling devices are solid state devices that operate on the principle of Peltier effect. Due to their compact size, solid-state construction and non-utilization of mechanical parts and refrigerants they offer a robust alternative option for conventional cooling systems. In this study, use of thermoelectric module for cooling of solar cells is demonstrated and potential improvement in power generation is highlighted though practical demonstration. Results indicate that thermoelectric cooling system can provide temperature difference of 7-31oC leading to improvement in PV power in range of 2.87 to 12.71%. Hence thermoelectric systems are potential candidates for improvement of PV power plant performance.
