| description | Our supply of natural resources continues to plummet as the growing global populations
reach an all-time high in the 21st century, and with the rise in demand for everything
fundamental to human survival and development, for instance, drinking water, land and
agriculture. All these fundamental require electricity as a vital part of its production, as
electrical power sources have long since been the capital energy source in our world
today. Making use of natural fuel to generate electricity is detrimental to the
environment as the combustion of fossil fuel gives rise to pollution and in turn global
warming. To rectify some of the negative impacts, there is a need for humans to begin
exploring various alternative methods of energy production such as wind and solar
energy. In this report, the focus will be more towards improving on the energy
production using solar panels.
This report aims to describe the process of utilizing the waste heat found on solar panels
during photovoltaic electrical generation to generate electrical energy. The project
makes use of the Seebeck effect in which temperature difference is used to generate
electricity. The Seebeck effect is further investigated to find what the suitable
components required is and its configuration to generate electricity. By further including
a power management system to this project, the electricity generated can be used to
power low power devices. |
