|All the talk about thermoelectric generators that I've seen have all stated |that the devices worked off of either chemically generated heat, or by burning |some fossil fuel. It would seem that these devices are idealy suited for use |in solar production of electricity. Has any work been done? Are there any |models that work with solar heat? How efficient are they? Cost effective? Remember heat is a low grade form of energy. If you have sunshine, it is better to convert directly, using solar cells. Ken
