Would it be possible to do both on a single panel? In other words, put photovoltaic cells on the sunny side and thermoelectric generators on the shady side.

  Photovoltaic efficiency drops as the panels overheat. Some have demonstrated active cooling methods that are net energy gain. I wonder if it would be cost effective to use these between the panels and cooling system?
