Two sources of energy are used in this project. One of the energy is solar, that converts radiant light to electrical energy and heat energy which will convert heat to electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) cell and thermoelectric (TE) module is used in this project as tools to capture and convert the energy to electrical energy. This innovation has no emission and requires less maintenance. © 2012 IEEE. %R 10.1109/PEOCO.2012.6230873 %D 2012 %L scholars2914 %J 2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference, PEOCO 2012 - Conference Proceedings %O cited By 15; Conference of 2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference, PEOCO 2012 ; Conference Date: 6 June 2012 Through 7 June 2012; Conference Code:91838
