The V oc of 1.76 V and I sc of 1.1 A at a temperature difference of 110 K were measured, which are in good agreement with validated mathematical results. It is concluded that the heat concentration of the parabolic mirror increases with an increase in the intensity of heat using natural solar radiations. When compared to the natural solar concentrated heat, higher temperature of 473.15 K at the hot-side surface temperature of TG was achieved. With eight quartz-halogen concentrated heat, the maximum performance achieved at ?T of 11.8 K, V oc of 292 mV and I sc of 95.8 mA, recorded at the concentrated hot-side surface temperature of 317.8 K. The Parabolic trough mirror used as a focal point at a distance of 19.05 cm. The construction and design of TEG-setup along with Parabolic trough mirrors and quartz-halogen lamps are presented. This paper presents the prospects of harnessing radiative heat from the sun with a parabolic trough mirror, as a solar thermal concentrator, in comparison to the mathematical model and experimental quartz-halogen concentrator model for the electrical energy conversion utilizing thermoelectric generators (TEG).
