The aim
of our study on hybrid energy devices (HEDs) is to find out the prerequisites
for enhancing the performance of the HEDs using solar energy. In this
work, first of all, the performance of the HEDs composed of photovoltaic
cells (PVCs) and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is analyzed, and
then the contribution of three different interfaces between the PVC
and TEG components to HED performance is assessed under solar irradiance
from 200 to 1000 W/m2. The significant result of the analysis
emphasizes that the performance of HEDs is enhanced when short-circuit
current in HEDs is comparable with the PVCs and the thermoelectric
voltage generated by the TEG is large. Furthermore, interfaces with
high solar-energy-absorption efficiencies and high thermal conductivity
cause TEGs to generate large thermoelectric voltages. Thus, the design
of the interfaces plays an important role in enhancing HED performance.
