PIPE TYPE PHOTOTHERMAL POWER GENERATION DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photothermal power generation device capable of achieving an excellent heat collection mechanism and high power generation characteristics.

SOLUTION: The photothermal power generation device includes a laminate body that is sandwiched between a first and a second electrodes and is electrically connected to both the first and the second electrodes. The laminate body is formed by alternately laminating metal and thermoelectric material to be of a device structure with a penetration hole therein. By irradiating the inside of the penetration hole in the device with solar light, power generation can be performed while realizing an excellent heat collection mechanism.
