In a TPV system, a heat source heats up a material called an emitter, which then emits thermal radiation in the form of photons. These photons are absorbed by a photovoltaic cell, where

As TPV systems generally work at lower temperatures than solar cells, their efficiencies tend to be low. Offsetting this through the use of multi-junction cells based on non-silicon materials is common, but
