Exploring the viability of thermoelectric generators for off-grid energy harvesting solutions

Abstract

This study examines the potential of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for off-grid energy harvesting applications. With the increasing demand for sustainable and remote power sources, TEGs offer a promising solution by converting thermal energy directly into electricity. This paper evaluates the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact of TEGs, employing a series of experimental setups and simulations to assess their practicality in diverse environmental conditions.
