SunCycle

This invention presents a closed-circuit solar thermal energy recirculation and conversion system designed to optimise solar heat absorption and transform it into usable electrical energy using Peltier cells. Unlike traditional solar thermal or photovoltaic systems, this hybrid solution merges solar thermal collection, thermoelectric energy conversion, and energy storage into a single, integrated, and efficient platform. Using a vertically oriented array of black-painted PVC pipes and thermally conductive materials, the system captures solar radiation, circulates heat via pumps to a thermal reservoir, and converts that heat into direct current (DC) electricity through a bank of Peltier cells. An onboard energy management system stores the electricity in a 12V battery or directs it for immediate use in household or off-grid applications.
