This paper describes an approach for solving the design, manufacturing, and evaluation problems encountered in the development of a prototype solar thermoelectric generator.The generator, intended as a power supply for interplanetary vehicles and orbital satellites, consists of an array of many low-voltage unit cells each readily lending itself to building block techniques to provide power outputs up to 3 kw.Performance characteristics based on 100 hr of prototype testing are presented as a function of environmental test conditions and unit life.A study of methods of maintaining alignment between the array axis and the solar axis is described, along with test data on the effect of misorientation.
