Solar energy can be used by buildings. Parts of the building can convert solar thermal energy into electrical energy.The roof and walls are the parts of the building that receive the most sunlight. Therefore, the roof and walls of the building can supply electricity with the thermoelectric generator. The aim of this research is to get the maximum possible output power from the thermoelectric generator system. From the output power produced, it will be possible to find the feasibility of a thermoelectric generator to be used as an energy source for the roof and walls of the building model. The building model is designed simply where the roof and walls can be located a thermoelectric generator system, which consists of a heat sink, a thermoelectric circuit and a cooling system. The heat sink used is aluminum. The thermoelectric circuit consists of 15 sets which are assembled in a series connection arrangement. The cooling system used is active cooling, where water as the cooling fluid circulates continuously during the operation of the system. The thermoelectric hot side temperature is obtained from solar thermal radiation through a heat sink. Meanwhile, the temperature on the cold side of the thermoelectric is the result of the effect of the cooling system that is attached. The temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the thermoelectric produces a system output in the form of electric voltage and electric current. This study obtain that the generator system on the roof with a temperature difference of 8.90 oC on the hot-cold side produces a power of 1.953 watts. While the generator system on the wall with a temperature difference between the hot-cold side of 1.80 oC produces a power of 0.030 watts.

Sistem generator terdiri dari penyerap panas aluminium, termoelektrik yang terdiri dari 15 set, dan sistem pendingin yang menggunakan fluida air bersirkulasi. Pengujian terhadap sistem dengan cara mengoperasikannya sambil melakukan pengamatan dan pengambilan data. Variabel dalam penelitian ini adalah susunan sambungan generator termoelektrik (seri dan paralel). Sementara data masukan adalah kelembaban udara, kecepatan angin, temperatur, dan aliran alir; sedangkan data luaran adalah tegangan listrik dan arus listrik. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa dengan perbedaan temperatur 12,8oC menghasilkan daya maksimum sebesar 2,214 watt dari susunan seri sambungan termolektrik. Sementara dengan perbedaan temperatur 15,4oC mendapatkan daya maksimum sebesar 0.101 watt dari susunan paralel sambungan termoelektrik.  Kata kunci: energi, surya, termoelektrik, atap, daya AbstractOne of the uses of solar energy is converting its thermal energy into electrical energy. The converter used is a thermoelectric generator. The sun's heat is received by the thermoelectric hot side through the heat sink, while the cold side is attached by an active cooling system with water fluid. This study aims to obtain the maximum possible output power from a thermoelectric generator system that converts solar thermal energy into electrical energy in the building model. The research method used is experimental, which is preceded by the design and manufacture of research tools. The research tool is in the form of a generator system that is placed on the roof of the building model. The generator system consists of an aluminum heat sink, a thermoelectric consisting of 15 sets, and a cooling system that uses circulating water fluid. Testing the system by operating it while observing and collecting data. The variable in this research is the connection arrangement of the thermoelectric generator (series and parallel). While the input data are humidity, wind speed, temperature, and flow flow; while the output data is electric voltage and electric current. The results showed that with a temperature difference of 12.8°C the maximum power was 2,214 watts from the series arrangement of the thermoelectric junction. Meanwhile, with a temperature difference of 15.4°C, the maximum power is 0.101 watts from the parallel arrangement of the thermoelectric connection. Keywords: energy, solar, thermoelectric, roof, power
