Mechanical and energy design

Hybrid photovoltaic–thermoelectric system

Energy sizing of a hybrid PV–TEG system, with its mechanical structure and tilt adjustment designed in SolidWorks.

Objective

The project

An academic design project combining photovoltaics and thermoelectric generation. The work connects energy sizing with the mechanical support and its angle adjustment.
