Portable Solar Battery Transfer for Easy Home Energy Use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solar energy systems require technical expertise to install and use, making them inaccessible to individuals without advanced knowledge, particularly for home use where connecting and disconnecting bulky power stations between outdoor and indoor locations is impractical.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a solar panel device, a rechargeable battery, and an inverter device, where the battery is the only component transported between the solar panel and inverter, allowing easy energy collection, storage, and utilization inside the home without needing to connect/disconnect the solar panel device, using a battery charger and inverter with separate receptacles for energy storage and conversion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If solar panels are permanently installed on the roof and connected to the home's electrical system, then renewable energy utilization is improved, but installation complexity and technical expertise requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separate functional modules: portable solar panels for energy collection, a rechargeable battery for energy storage, and an inverter device for energy distribution. This segmentation allows each component to be independently handled and connected only when needed, eliminating the complexity of permanent installation while maintaining renewable energy utilization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a power station is connected to solar panels outside and then moved inside the house, then energy access flexibility is improved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and impractical
Solution Approach 1:
The power system is segmented into a stationary inverter device and a portable battery unit. The inverter remains permanently installed inside the house, while only the lightweight battery needs to be moved between charging locations. This segmentation maintains energy access flexibility while dramatically improving operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates the spatial dimensions of energy conversion and energy distribution. The inverter is fixed in one location (inside the house) while the battery can be moved to different locations (outside for charging, inside for distribution). This dimensional separation allows flexibility without the burden of moving entire power stations.
3Reliability
If professional installation is required for solar panel systems, then system reliability is improved, but accessibility to ordinary users decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into a professionally installed inverter component and user-manageable portable components (solar panels and battery). This allows the critical electrical integration to be performed once by professionals, while users can independently handle the portable parts without requiring technical expertise.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable design enables users to independently set up, move, and operate the solar panels and battery without requiring professional installation or technical knowledge. Users can simply charge the battery outdoors and then move it indoors to power devices, making the system self-service friendly.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables users to easily generate, store, and utilize renewable energy inside the home without technical knowledge, as the system requires only manual insertion/removal of the battery between the solar panel and inverter, providing flexible and convenient energy access.
Implementation Method 1

AI summary
A system includes an energy collection device adapted to collect energy from a renewable energy source, an energy distribution device separate from and not connected to the energy collection device, the energy distribution device adapted to distribute energy to a third device, and a portable energy storage device. The portable energy storage is adapted to connect to the energy collection device, receive energy from the energy collection device, store the energy, disconnect from the energy collection device, connect to the energy distribution device, provide the energy to the energy distribution device, and disconnect from the energy distribution device.
