GETTER SELF-HEATING DEVICE

摘要

Various embodiments provide devices for more efficient thermoelectric conversion by including a getter within a solar energy generation module. Solar energy generation modules may function in the vacuum of an evacuated enclosure to promote efficiency. A getter may improve the quality of the vacuum and thereby improve the efficiency of the solar energy generation module. A getter is more effective at improving vacuums if the getter is heated. Therefore, in various embodiments the getter may be thermally coupled with a heat absorber.
