Solar thermal is another way to use solar energy to generate power. Many attempts to establish solar (solo) thermal power stations have been practiced all over the world. Although there are some advantages in solo solar thermal power systems, the efficiencies and costs of these systems are not so attractive.
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants that used thermal parabolic trough collectors (PTC) are the most suitable technology in the clean power production. Several efforts have been done for enhancing the performance of PTCs. In this research, a parabolic trough collector-thermoelectric generator (PTC-TEG) hybrid solar system is proposed.
