= Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion
{wiki=Thermophotovoltaic_energy_conversion}
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a technology that converts thermal radiation (infrared light) into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. This process can be understood as follows: 1. **Energy Source**: TPV systems typically utilize a heat source, which can be anything from concentrated solar energy to waste heat from industrial processes. The goal is to achieve high temperatures, allowing for efficient thermal radiation.
