Abstract:
This invention relates mainly to a method for constructing low cost solar electric cells and panels. The Seeback effect is used in the conversion of solar heat to electricity. Temperature differential between two sides of the solar panel is achieved with the use of thermal absorbing materials and insulating materials. Dissimilar metal wires or strips are used in series and parallel to obtain the appropriate voltage and current.
