AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional flat solar panels have limitations in power density and installation space, with only 26% of rooftops being adequately oriented and lacking structural integrity, leading to high installation costs and market barriers.

Method used

Three-dimensional (3D) solar modules with non-coplanar photovoltaic layers that collect light from various directions, including reflected photons, and are designed to reduce installation space while maintaining power output.

Benefits of technology

The 3D solar modules achieve a higher power density, generating ten times the power per square meter compared to conventional panels, reducing installation costs and space requirements.

Abstract

A compact three-dimensional (3D) photovoltaic charging system comprises a photovoltaic unit enclosed in a transparent housing, a power management unit, and a support base. The photovoltaic unit has non-coplanar photovoltaic surfaces positioned at a relative distance and orientation. Compared to conventional flat solar panels, the 3D photovoltaic charging system can collect light vertically, amplifying the solar module's energy density, defined as the power output per unit area of installation. A 3D photovoltaic charging system with phototracking is also described, which includes a photovoltaic unit enclosed in a transparent housing, a power management unit, and a means for tracking an electromagnetic radiation source.The 3D photo-tracking photovoltaic charging system tracks a moving light source, resulting in improved light flow input and improved electrical power output.
