Electric generation system
First Claim
1. An electric generation system for generating an electric power utilizing solar energy falling on a transparent plate dividing a predetermined interior space from an exterior space, wherein:
- the transparent plate is provided with a thin plate-like or film-like thermal generation module, which is transmissive to at least a portion of visible rays in the solar energy, and which generates an electromotive force according to a temperature difference between a temperature in the interior space and a temperature in the exterior space.

Abstract
To utilize solar energy without loosing the laminating function. For this purpose, there is provided an electric generation system for generating an electric power utilizing solar energy falling on a transparent plate 7 dividing a predetermined interior space 8 from an exterior space, characterized in that the transparent plate 7 is provided with a thin plate-like or film-like thermal generation module 11, which is transmissive to at least a portion of visible rays in the solar energy, and which generates an electromotive force by a temperature difference between a temperature in the interior space and a temperature in the exterior space. Consequently, electric power can be generated utilizing heat resulting from blocking the light entering into the interior space 8.
