The sun goes down, the campfire is roaring - time to roast marshmallows and Peltier modules.
Most Peltier modules are rated at max power with a load of somewhere around 3 or 4 ohms. For discussion's sake, let's say OC voltage is 0-10V and max power is at 5 volts.
Having several Peltier modules in series to get the voltage high enough, would it be a possible, or a good idea, to use an MPPT charge controller to optimize the power output of the thermoelectric modules?
