(orcid)0000-0001-7017-4178 Analysis of the experimental integration of thermoelectric generators in photovoltaic–thermal hybrid panels 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Photovoltaic–thermal panels (PVT) have been widely studied in the last years and have proved to be a technically viable and profitable solution. This work analyses the integration of a set of thermoelectric generators (TEG) inside these panels in order to obtain additional power. The thermoelectric material takes advantage of the temperature gap between the hottest part of the system, the output flow from the collector, and the cold water feeding the solar system. An experimental test bench with a PVT having integrated TEGs and the same PVT in parallel without TEGs was mounted to compare both devices. The corresponding CFD simulation was also carried out to better understand the temperature map in the arrangement. Both experimental and computational results show that the manufacture of the panel with integrated TEGs should be carefully studied before becoming a commercial product. They also gave some guidelines for the improvement of the prototype in this integrated product. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/RTI2018-098886-A-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.838 2021 PHYSICS, APPLIED 76 / 161 = 0.472 2021 Q2 T2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 39 / 92 = 0.424 2021 Q2 T2 CHEMISTRY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 100 / 179 = 0.559 2021 Q3 T2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 218 / 344 = 0.634 2021 Q3 T2 0.507 2021 Computer Science Applications 2021 Q2 Engineering (miscellaneous) 2021 Q2 Process Chemistry and Technology 2021 Q2 Materials Science (miscellaneous) 2021 Q2 Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes 2021 Q2 3.7 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Martínez-Gracia, A.
