Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of an innovative energy conversion system based on multifunctional photovoltaic (PV) converters. The study aims to enhance the overall efficiency of solar energy utilization by integrating photo-thermoelectric and photovoltaic mechanisms into a unified conversion structure. Experimental and simulation-based methods were applied to investigate hybridized energy conversion processes, thermal management strategies, and material optimization for improved performance. The proposed system demonstrates significant improvements in energy conversion efficiency, thermal stability, and adaptability for various environmental conditions, showing strong potential for renewable energy generation and sustainable power applications.
