A thermophotovoltaic generator having a solid body located in a combustion chamber of a burner, with the surface of the solid body being excited to a state of radiation by an air-fuel mixture that is supplied by a delivery unit to the burner, where it combusts, and the radiation strikes a photocell, which then generates electrical energy; and having an exhaust pipe discharging the hot combustion gases from the combustion chamber. A premixing chamber is closed from the combustion chamber to the outside by a porous solid body, the photocell is positioned opposite the porous solid body and upstream from the latter in the premixing chamber, a reflector is located downstream from the solid body and opposite the latter outside the premixing chamber so that it reflects the radiation produced by the combustion of the air-fuel mixture on the solid body in the opposite direction from the combustion gases flowing to the photocell, and the air-fuel mixture is delivered by the delivery unit to the premixing chamber so that the non-combusted air-fuel mixture flows around the photocell from behind, thus cooling it.
