METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

This chapter will explained on the methodology and material of the final year project report. Each part that has been selected has as its own purpose. This project focuses on designing the solar and thermoelectric place at wall building for low voltage application. Mean that it’s consist of hardware and software part which for input voltage especially solar panel and thermoelectric module. The software part is to display the output get by using LABVIEW. The rest information of this project will be informed throughout this report.

METHODOLOGY

The main focus of this research is to test and measure the voltage output of combination of photovoltaic and thermoelectric. The method or source that are used to find the information is from internet research for example google and blog. Other than that is article, journals, magazine, and book. The solar with thermoelectric system is a project that combines the solar cells (photovoltaic and thermoelectric) The main device of this project is thermoelectric and photovoltaic. The photovoltaic panel is used to detect UV light energy from solar which is main sources, thermoelectric module is use as a device to collect heat produce. This two source are connect in series to provide more output voltage. This project is involve engineering software such as labview to display electrical properties and multisim to construct circuit.
