In the case of an excessively high temperature of the photovoltaic power generation apparatus, the semiconductor photovoltaic cell has a low power generation efficiency, and there is a risk of damage to the semiconductor photovoltaic cell. Therefore, the light transmission of the photovoltaic area can be closed through the liquid crystal lens, so that the semiconductor photovoltaic cell can continue to work after heat dissipation is carried out as soon as possible, and the semiconductor thermoelectric cell just utilizes the heat energy of sunlight at high temperature to carry out electric energy conversion, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the whole photovoltaic power generation equipment.
As an alternative embodiment, a side of the bottom plate facing away from the liquid crystal lens is provided with a metal heat dissipation rib structure.
It can be understood that the metal heat dissipation rib structure is made of rigid materials, and can increase the contact area of the power generation box and the external cold air, so that the heat generated in the closed power generation box body is smoothly discharged to the outside, and a better heat dissipation effect is achieved.
As an alternative embodiment, the base plate corresponding to the photovoltaic region includes a heat-conducting ceramic layer and a heat treatment layer, which are sequentially stacked, the heat-conducting ceramic layer being in contact with the semiconductor photovoltaic cell, the heat treatment layer being formed between the heat-conducting ceramic layer and the metal heat dissipation rib structure; the heat treatment layer comprises a heat pipe heat dissipation system and a heat insulation glue material filled between the heat conduction ceramic layer and the metal heat dissipation rib structure.
It can be understood that, because the heat-insulating adhesive material is filled between the heat-conducting ceramic layer and the metal heat dissipation rib structure, the heat generated in the photovoltaic region can only be processed by the heat pipe heat dissipation system.

It will be appreciated that the sunlight strikes the semiconductor thermoelectric cell primarily at the top electrode, and thus the hot side of the semiconductor thermoelectric cell, while the bottom electrode facing away from the sunlight and in contact with the metal heat sink rib structure is the cold side of the semiconductor thermoelectric cell. Holes in the P-type semiconductor column move from the hot end to the cold end, electrons in the N-type semiconductor column also move from the hot end to the cold end, so that a potential difference is formed at the cold end of the PN assembly, and the potential differences of the PN assemblies are superposed to form the power supply of the semiconductor thermoelectric battery.

As an alternative embodiment, the bottom plate corresponding to the thermoelectric region is coated with a heat-insulating colloid flat layer, and the size of the heat-insulating colloid flat layer in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate is smaller than the size of the P-type semiconductor pillars and the N-type semiconductor pillars in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate.
It can be understood that the arrangement of the heat insulation colloid flat layer enables the heat of the PN assembly not to be diffused outwards, and the carriers of the P-type semiconductor column and the N-type semiconductor column fully absorb the sunlight heat from the top electrode and convert the sunlight heat into electric quantity, so that the power generation efficiency of the semiconductor thermoelectric cell is improved.
As an alternative embodiment, the temperature detector is arranged close to the photovoltaic region.
