The book Solar Thermoelectric Power Generation using compound parabolic concentrators is a novel and an important proof-of-concept work. The use of thermoelectric devices for energy conversion is an interesting alternative for energy production and utilization. To combine a thermoelectric module (TEM) with a three dimensional compound parabolic concentrator (3D CPC) is even more interesting. The book has shown a new possibility in the application of the thermoelectric device. It could be used as a hybrid with another system, for example in cooling a photovoltaic system, to enhance its power generation. Students of both solar and thermoelectric power generation will find this a very useful book. An important performance parameter and its significance to the 3D CPC/TEM is shown inside. The study here is presented using a model which takes into consideration all the effects of the parameters and the irreversibilities that contribute to the performance of the system. It is written in...
