Abstract

The background of this research is to optimize the use of heat from solar energy as energy harvesting based on a thermoelectric generator (TEG). One of the factors that affect the TEG output is the TEG configuration and the resulting temperature difference. The external temperature captured by the TEG side and the cooling system causes a significant temperature difference. This study uses a TEG trainer module consisting of eight TEGs and a double heatsink that functions for the cooling side and heat capture from the sun. Experiments show that the combination of eight TEG modules in series provides a maximum output significantly compared to single TEG and parallel modules at the same time with a temperature difference of 12.870C.
