Wood stoves equipped with thermoelectric generators can produce electricity that is more sustainable, more reliable, and less costly than power from solar PV panels.
What is the realistic output? Seem some thermoelectric camping stoves and they can barely manage to charge a phone.
Also sounds like a lot of fuel would be required which solar panels don’t need. As some kind of backup power maybe it could have a use, but no chance at being a good primary power source. And isn’t a steam turbine much more efficient than thermoelectric?
