The PiggyPower TEG 10 is a 55mm x 55mm bare thermoelectric generator module built for experimentation, prototyping, and evaluation of more capable thermoelectric setups. It offers a stronger output class than a small starter module while still keeping the format simple. This listing is for the module only, with attached lead wires. No heat sink, water block, controller, enclosure, boost electronics, thermal interface material, or finished mounting assembly is included.
 
The PiggyPower TEG 10 is intended for customers who want to explore higher-output thermoelectric generation in a controlled experimental format. It is well suited for bench work, education, power electronics testing, and custom project development. Like the TEG 5, it should not be viewed as a substitute for a finished PiggyPower Cell. A completed PiggyPower system depends on controlled clamping, thermal management, cooling strategy, and integration methods that are not part of a raw module listing. Our finished PiggyPower Cells exist for customers who want those variables handled in a more complete and engineered package.
 
For customer guidance, the chart below uses a 50°F fresh tap water cold-side reference. These numbers are intended as realistic reference estimates, not a universal guarantee. Actual results depend on cooling quality, thermal contact, clamping uniformity, hot-side conditions, and electrical loading. We recommend designing around 170°C hot-side operation for a strong balance of output and repeatability.
 
At the recommended 170°C hot-side reference point, this module is comfortably in the 10 watt class when the cold side is held near 50°F with fresh tap water. That gives the PiggyPower TEG 10 a strong experimental envelope for customers who want more output headroom. As always, the cold side matters. If the water warms up, flow is weak, or cooling is poorly controlled, output drops.
 
This is still a raw thermoelectric module and it needs to be treated accordingly. Uneven clamping can crack the ceramic. Excessive pressure can damage the module. Poor heat spreading can create hot spots. Overheating can reduce performance or cause permanent failure. Lead exits should not be bent sharply, tugged, or used as strain relief points. The module should never be run hard on the hot side while the cold side is losing cooling capacity. Thermoelectrics reward careful setup and punish sloppy setup. Customers who want a more complete, ready-to-use solution should start with one of our finished PiggyPower Cells, where the clamping, thermal path, and system integration have already been handled.

Important performance note: The reference chart on this page assumes the cold side is actively maintained near 50°F with fresh tap water. Real-world output will vary with cooling quality, clamping, thermal interface quality, heat source stability, and electrical load. These modules are intended for customers who understand that thermoelectric systems require careful mechanical and thermal design.

Please note: These modules are currently made to order and may take up to 4 weeks to ship. We ship to the mainland USA without issue. For international orders or orders outside the mainland USA, please contact us before purchasing so we can review shipping options for your location.
