TL;DR: The contribution of TE module to total energy seems significant in southern European towns and less substantial when the locations considered are very distant from the equator and show the possibility of using TE devices for energy production.
Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical approach to evaluate the performance of a hybrid solar system made with photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric (TE) modules. After a brief treatment of the integrated system, energy conversion and performance parameters are evaluated through numerical simulations depending on the global radiation and temperature distribution obtained by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission and of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The contribution of TE module to total energy seems significant in southern European towns and less substantial when the locations considered are very distant from the equator and show the possibility of using TE devices for energy production.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a cooling method to improve the dissipation heat flux level from concentrated solar cells, which was targeted at cooling small area, high concentration solar cells which are desired because of their higher electrical efficiency at higher concentration of solar flux.
Abstract: The ever increasing need for more efficient utilization of solar energy at higher concentration levels in today's power technology; create a need for effective cooling methods to improve the dissipation heat flux level from concentrated solar cells. The present research is targeted at cooling small area, high concentration solar cells which are desired because of their higher electrical efficiency at higher concentration of solar flux.
