FIELD: energy.
SUBSTANCE: solar generator (10) comprises the amplified by photons thermoelectron emission based generator (20), having cathode (22) for solar radiation (70) reception and anode (24), which is together with the cathode generates the first current (26) and the waste heat (28) from the solar radiation (70); additional heat source that creates additional heat; thermoelectric generator (30) having thermal connection with the anode (24) and additional heat source for the waste heat (28) from the anode (24) and additional heat conversion into the second current (36); and circuit connected to the amplified by photons thermoelectron emission based generator (20), and to the thermoelectric generator (30) for the first and second currents (26, 36) combining into the output current (16).
EFFECT: invention provides device converting both the photon and thermal energy of solar radiation into electricity with the higher efficiency.
