In this study, the abundant heat energy available from daily insolation in tropical climates is converted into DC current via a reversible thermoelectric effect. Recyclable components were employed in the construction of a simple solar-thermoelectric generator. The design used is based on the power tower method (without heliostats) of generating electricity from a steam-powered turbine. Recyclable waste materials such as soda can, insulation, support stand, (bottle tops) and plane mirrors were used. Integration of this TEG into a cogeneration system produced average steam temperature of 60 °C in 330 s, from concentrated Solar Power (CSP) from 720 plane mirrors over a land area of 4 m2. Steam emanating from the boiler was used to turn eight light weight bottle tops affixed to a rotor, under standard conditions of air mass of 1 atm. The thermo-electrical performance was determined from Z, figure of merit. Given that the electrical conductivity (σ), thermal conductivity (λ) and Seebeck coefficient of the thermo-power (S) of all materials used were assumed to be constant. The output energy directed through wires to a step-up transformer, generated an electromotive force which adequately lighted a 1.2 V light emitting diode.
