Abstract
The work presents a model of equivalent medium that allows one to estimate the thermoelectric characteristics of nonuniform semiconductor materials. The model describes experimental results obtained on microgranular silicon and defines ways of achieving high values of thermoelectric Q factor in transformers of thermal energy based on granulated semiconductors in a temperature range that can be easily achieved using solar concentrators.
