University of Rochester researchers have developed a way to make solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) 15 times more powerful, potentially closing the efficiency gap with conventional solar panels and opening new possibilities for renewable energy. . The growth of global energy demand and the aggravation of environmental pollution have prompted the rapid development of renewable energy, in which the solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) heat pump system, as a technology integrating photovoltaic power generation and thermal energy conversion, has. . Taking the heating of a driving school building in the suburbs of Baiyin, Gansu as a case study, and using typical meteorological data for the local heating season, we simulated the indoor thermal load of the building using DEST software. We then designed a focused solar heating system with phase. . onia (CaCl2/NH3) cycle to generate both heating and cooling. Researcher Chunlei Guo testing a solar thermoelectric generator.
