I found this very useful. Looking at curves are all well and good, but knowing the formulas used to make the curves is a lot more useful. That PDF contains all the essential equations and a lot of useful information and even a case study.

I have been implementing those equations in a computer program to calculate peltier characteristics. I have a few things to clear up, other than that it seems to be going quite well, watch this space.
One problem area you may find is that you don't know dimensions of the TEC elements. You probably can get those by taking the number of elements and max I and Qc, and working backwards to solve for element geometry...
