TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid solar system with high temperature stage is described, which contains a radiation concentrator, a photovoltaic solar cell and a heat engine or thermoelectric generator.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of using thermoelectric generators in solar hybrid systems and found that the TEG's efficiency has almost linear dependence on the temperature difference Δ T between its plates, reaching 4% at Δ T ǫ = 155 Ã − Ã Ã (hot plate at 200 Ã )°C with 3 W of power generated over the matched load.

TL;DR: In this article, the photovoltaic panel (PVP) area is shown to be much smaller than that of the solar collector, and the performance of different panels in the hybrid PV-thermal system was investigated, in particular, those made of crystalline (c-) Si, α-Si and CuInSe2 as well as different materials and constructions for the thermal contact between the panel and the collector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed and made an original water-heating planar collector and a set of reflecting planes to make use of both active surfaces of the bifacial PV module, which makes it compatible with the PV module made of crystalline Si.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental model of a solar hybrid system including photovoltaic (PV) module, concentrating Fresnel lens, thermoelectric generator (TEG), and running water heat extracting unit was created and studied.
