The experimental investigation of a hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric power generator solar cavity-receiver

The measurements of the current and voltage of the system have revealed that the hybrid PV-TEG power generation is three times greater than a flat PV-TEG system power production. The hybrid cavity PV-TEG efficiency improvement has been 18.9% in comparison with the conventional system, whereas the economic analysis of the cavity system has shown that the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is 9.432 US $/kWh which is 67% greater than the PV-TEG flat plate LCOE.
