Sector: Renewable/Green Energy
Description:
Thermo-electric generators are solid-state devices that convert heat into electricity using the Seebeck effect, when there is a temperature difference across a thermo-electric material. The system consist of a heat source, heat sink, charge controller, battery for storage, connecting cables, DC to AC power inverter and stand to house the components.
Stage of Innovation: Proof of Concept (You have created something to show the innovation can work)
Problem:
Epileptic supply in sub-urban and rural communities
Unique Selling Point: Most people now use PV cells which costly and require large floor area for installation. Thermolectric generator is very portable and very reliable in operation.
