Solar-thermal, thermoelectric power generation device for building i.e. house, has solar cells attached on surface of absorber, and flow controller control unit formed so that ratio of electric current and thermal energy is controlled

摘要

The device (100) has thermoelectric generators (105) thermally connected with a heat exchanger (108) and an absorber (103) with a surface on which solar cells are attached. A flow controller (111) adjusts flow of a working medium e.g. aqueous working medium, and a consumer (112) is thermally connected with a pipeline system (110). A flow controller control unit is formed so that a ratio of electric current produced by the generators and the thermal energy delivered at the medium in the exchanger is controlled depending on need of the electric current and/or thermal energy at the consumer. An independent claim is also included for a method of operating a solar-thermal, thermoelectric power generation device.
