Abstract Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) play a critical role in collecting renewable energy from the sun and deep space to generate clean electricity. With their environmentally friendly, reliable, and noise-free operation, TEGs offer diverse applications, including areas with limited power infrastructure, microelectronic devices, and wearable technology. The review thoroughly analyses TEG system configurations, performance, and applications driven by solar and/or radiative cooling, covering non-concentrating, concentrating, radiative cooling-driven, and dual-mode TEGs. Materials for solar absorbers and radiative coolers, simulation techniques, energy storage management, and thermal management strategies are explored. The integration of TEGs with combined heat and power More >
