@article { , title = {A review of solar photovoltaic-thermoelectric hybrid system for electricity generation}, abstract = {Solar energy application in a wider spectrum has the potential for high efficiency energy conversion. However, solar cells can only absorb photon energy of the solar spectrum near the solar cell band-gap energy, and the remaining energy will be converted into thermal energy. The thermoelectric generator is a good choice to utilize this thermal energy. This paper analyses the feasibility of photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE), and reviews the current types and performance of PV-TE. Furthermore, it presents the optimization and development of PV-TE. In addition, this paper presents the challenge and efficient improvement of PV-TE in actual application. Therefore, this paper would provide a valuable reference for further research into the field of PV-TE and its applications.}, doi = {10.1016/j.energy.2018.06.021}, issn = {0360-5442}, pages = {41-58}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Elsevier}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/864674}, volume = {158}, keyword = {Energy, Environment and Sustainability, PV-TE, Wide solar spectrum, Electricity generation, Hybrid solar system}, year = {2018}, author = {Li, Guiqiang and Shittu, Samson and Diallo, Thierno M.O. and Yu, Min and Zhao, Xudong and Ji, Jie} }
