| dc.description | Many countries throughout the world are looking for alternative energy sources including wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower to either supplement energy security or replace the current conventional methods of generating electricity due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and price changes. The ability to do more and significantly reduce costs is a key promise of solar photovoltaic coupled with its advantage of no pollution and silent equipment performance [1–3]. Solar photovoltaics refers to the process of transforming solar radiation into electrical energy through the utilization of semiconductor devices called solar cells [4]. Photovoltaic cells are technologies that use the photovoltaic effect to directly turn sunlight into electricity. They are employed in a wide range of products, from tiny electronic devices to massive power plants, and have emerged as a significant source of renewable energy, decreasing dependence on nonrenewable energy sources and promoting a more sustainable future [1, 3, 5]. | |
| dc.description.abstract | In recent times, the significance of renewable energy generation has increased and photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) technologies have emerged as a promising solution. However, the incorporation of these technologies still faces difficulties in energy storage and optimization. This review paper addresses these challenges by providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in PV-TE technologies. The paper emphasizes the integration of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage, also buttressing the use of encapsulated PCM for thermal storage and efficiency, and the use of hybrid PCM to enhance overall performance. Furthermore, reviews on the use of machine learning techniques for efficient optimization and the integration of thermoelectric modules into tandem perovskite silicon solar cells have been comprehensively analyzed. The advancements in photovoltaic-thermoelectric systems, as reviewed in this article, signify significant progress in attaining sustainable and effective energy production and storage. This review comprehensively addresses the 4Es, underlining their importance. It not only consolidates recent developments but also charts a path for future research in the field of PV-TE technologies, offering precise insights to guide upcoming studies and innovations.
