Claim Text:
1. A solar thermoelectric cell comprising at least one solar thermoelectric conversion module comprising: a first thermoelectric conversion element made of a first thermoelectric material having a positive thermoelectric coefficient and comprising a first absorbing part and a first non-absorbing part, a first angle defined by the first absorbing part and the first non-absorbing part is less than 90 degrees; a second thermoelectric conversion element made of a second thermoelectric material having negative thermoelectric coefficient and comprising a second non-absorbing part and a second absorbing part electrically connected with the second absorbing part, a second angle defined by the second absorbing part and the second non-absorbing part is less than 90 degrees; wherein the first absorbing part is electrically connected with the second absorbing part; and an insulated structure comprising a first planar surface and a second planar surface, wherein a third angle defined by the first planar surface and the second planar surface is less than 90 degrees, the first absorbing part and the second absorbing part are disposed in direct physical contact with the first planar surface, and the first non-absorbing part and the second non-absorbing part are disposed in direct physical contact with the second planar surface.
