Claim 0:
1. A device for temperature control for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a diffractive optical element disposed on a surface of the motor vehicle, the diffractive optical element configured to,
be transparent to at least a first part of a visible wavelength range of incident radiation in a section on the surface of the motor vehicle to induce light,
couple in the incident radiation as coupled-in incident radiation, and
conduct at least a second part of a wavelength range of the coupled-in incident radiation away from an area of the motor vehicle to be cooled; and

a radiator including an absorber configured to absorb the coupled-in incident radiation which is conducted to the absorber from the diffractive optical element,
the radiator configured to release energy based on the coupled-in incident radiation absorbed by the absorber,
the radiator includes a thermoelectric generator, and
the diffractive optical element is configured to conduct the second part of the wavelength range of the coupled-in incident radiation to the thermoelectric generator.
