This paper presents a typical application for a newly developed thermoelectric energy harvesting system. The proposed solar thermoelectric generator (TEG) operates with phase change material (PCM) day and night. An energy management system was connected with the TEG to increase the output voltage while the harvested power was used to drive a wireless transmitter. The wireless receiver controlled the switch of a water tap which functions as a smart cooler of a photovoltaic cell. This study demonstrates a way of using micro-energy to improve macro-energy production smartly.
