This research aim is to design a simple renewable energy device that uses thermal energy from the sun to generate electricity. The main conversion component is the thermoelectric generator (TEG) Peltier. Due to the low Peltier output, low voltage and low current, improvement is needed. The improvement approaches in this research are by connecting the Peltier in series array and constructing a solar heat trap. In the end, the device managed to achieve 1.88 mW output (1 Volt and 1.88 miliAmpere). This experiment provides an insight on how to improve Peltier output in real-world environment.
