Currently, photovoltaic power generation is the mainstream of renewable energy, but the problem of leveling remains. Solar thermal power generation, which stores the energy falling from the sun in the form of heat, can generate power even under cloudy weather. In this study, we will verify the possibility of solar thermal power generation. We have prototyped a solar thermal power generation system using thermoelectric elements, evaluated its characteristics, and estimated its power generation capacity.
