Experimental performance of a roof solar fiber-cement chimney and thermoelectric power generation can enhance ventilation and mitigate heat gain in the attic. This paper presents initial experimental findings on the thermal performance of an advanced roof design using a recently introduced solar chimney configuration that incorporates ten thermoelectric modules. Specifically, one thermoelectric module (MT2-1, 6-127), measuring 40 x 40 mm, was placed in the roof solar fiber-cement chimney, which has a surface area of 0.24 m², and installed on the roof of a small south-facing room measuring 120 cm x 120 cm x 120 cm. Field test results demonstrated that this roof solar fiber-cement chimney, designed with thermoelectric modules, effectively fulfills its intended purposes of promoting ventilation and reducing heat gain through the roof envelope. Therefore, the proposed roof solar fiber-cement chimney with ten thermoelectric modules represents an innovative and viable alternative for various applications, including natural ventilation, indoor air circulation, and reduced roof heat gain. The roof solar fiber-cement chimney and thermoelectric power generation conserve energy and promote solar energy use.
