A system (10) for converting energy having an array of thermoelectric devices (60) connected electrically in series between a first heat exchanger (15) in contact with a first surface (61) of the array and a second heat exchanger (20) in contact with a second surface (63) opposite the first surface of said array (60). The array (60) is capable of generating a DC current while a thermal gradient between the first surface and the second surface is applied. When DC current is applied to said array, either waste heating or waste cooling is produced at a working surface.
