PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem of conventional photovoltaic power generators that thermoelectric element is hardly mounted to a side face of a cylindrical cooling pipe.SOLUTION: A photovoltaic power generator 1 collects sunlight onto a solar battery 104 with a reflector 101 and converts solar energy into electric energy. The photovoltaic power generator 1 includes: a cooling pipe 102 having a square cylindrical shape disposed above the reflector 101; a thermoelectric element 103 mounted on at least one side face of the cooling pipe 102; and a solar battery 104 mounted on the upper face of the thermoelectric element 103.
