Model 8550 Thermoelectric Generator

The Model 8550 Thermoelectric Generator provides up to 550 watts of DC power.  It is a reliable, low-maintenance source of DC power for any application where regular utilities are unavailable or unreliable.    
  • Global Power Technologies is the world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs), providing the most reliable source of unattended off-grid power available on the market today.

    Featuring a solid-state design (no moving parts) TEGs are built to work in the most challenging environments on Earth. Extreme temperatures and weather conditions, day or night… they just work. Individual TEGs can provide power from 10W to 500W, and TEGs can be integrated to provide more power in multi-TEG modular solutions. Global Power Technologies offers TEGs for general area and hazardous location operations.
