Abstract: 
An attempt has been made to increase the efficiency of the solar cell by using temperature difference and exploring the way of producing more electricity. The Seebeck effect is responsible for the behavior of thermocouples, which are used to approximately measure temperature differences. Testing the most effective combinations of materials which can be used to provide additional potential apart from the potential being generated from the solar cell using the Seebeck effect and Peltier effects simultaneously.
