Abstract

A thermoelectric generator panel 5 comprises an array of thermoelectric generators 7, 8, 9 for generating electricity using a heat differential, said thermoelectric generators each comprising first and second faces 10, 11, the panel further comprising a heat sink 6 connected to one face 11 of each of the thermoelectric generators and means to connect the other face 10 of each of the thermoelectric generators to a radiator 2. The heat sink preferably comprises fins and may be made from metal. One or both faces of the thermoelectric generators may be provided with a thermally conductive compound. Also disclosed is a radiator of a central heating system comprising the thermoelectric generator panel of the invention.
