Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a solar panel optimization and protection device designed for optimizing energy generation, ensuring protection under varying environmental conditions, regulating operational performance, maintaining efficiency, and providing reliable monitoring and management for sustained solar power output.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The increasing global demand for renewable energy has placed significant emphasis on solar power as a sustainable solution. Solar panels, however, are highly dependent on their positioning, exposure, and maintenance for optimal performance. Without proper regulation and protection, their efficiency drops substantially over time. Environmental factors such as wind, dust, and rain further compromise energy output and panel durability. Additionally, overheating and dirt accumulation hinder stable performance. Solar panel optimization and protection face several challenges that significantly affect performance and durability.

[0003] Fixed positioning limits energy generation as panels cannot continuously align with the sun’s path, leading to reduced efficiency. Environmental factors such as dust, dirt, bird droppings, and rainwater cause surface soiling, lowering light absorption and requiring frequent cleaning. Overheating during peak sunlight reduces output and risks long-term damage. Strong winds, hail, and physical impacts threaten structural integrity, while fluctuating weather conditions create instability in performance. Additionally, lack of real-time monitoring and automated maintenance systems results in delayed fault detection, higher operational costs, and decreased overall reliability.

[0004] Traditionally, fixed solar panel installations have been employed to capture sunlight, where panels are placed at a certain angle to maximize energy output. In some cases, manual or semi-automatic trackers are used to adjust positioning according to the sun’s path. For protection, external casings or enclosures are used, while periodic manual cleaning helps maintain panel efficiency. Temperature control methods, such as natural air cooling, are also relied upon. However, these approaches are often labor-intensive, inconsistent, and limited in adaptability. With growing energy needs, conventional systems fall short in delivering sustained efficiency and cost-effective operation over long durations.

[0005] US8323421B2 discloses an automatic cleaning system for solar panels has a time controller, a detection device, a perfusion device, a driving device and a cleaning device. Based on predetermined time values, execution signals are sent to the perfusion device, the driving device and the detection device to implement prompt assessment of the need for cleaning and cleaning, if warranted. Also provided is an automatic cleaning method using the system.

[0006] WO2019118435A1 discloses a method for automatically cleaning a solar panel using an atmospheric water generator is provided. The method includes the steps of generating water using the atmospheric water generator. The water can be stored for using in a cleaning operation. The system can monitor the efficiency of the solar panel power generation. If the efficiency drops below a certain level, which can indicate that the solar panels are dirty, the system can automatically initiate a cleaning operation. The stored water can be pumped through pipes and nozzles to clean the solar panels. The system can automatically initiate the atmospheric water generator to replenish the used water. The system can use a portion of the power generated by the solar panels to perform the cleaning and water generation operations. Accordingly, an automatic and self-contained solar panel cleaning method and system is provided.

[0007] Conventionally, many devices have been developed to facilitate optimization and protection of solar panels, however devices mentioned in prior arts have limitations pertaining to providing automation, adaptability to dynamic environmental changes, and real-time monitoring. Additionally, the existing devices fail to addressing multiple challenges such as overheating, and dust accumulation, and external disturbances.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is capable of providing environmental protection, temperature regulation, automated cleaning, and real-time monitoring. Additionally, the device is capable of ensure consistent energy output, minimize manual intervention, extend the operational life of solar panels, and ensures panels remain in optimal condition regardless of external factors, ultimately leading to improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced reliability of solar power generation.

[0023] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0024] The present invention relates to a solar panel optimization and protection device developed for improving power generation, protecting performance in changing environmental conditions, supporting consistent efficiency, controlling operational stability, and ensuring effective monitoring and management for reliable and sustained production of solar energy.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view of a solar panel optimization and protection device and a perspective view of a rotatory disc installed with of a temperature regulation arrangement associated with the device are illustrated respectively, comprising of a rotating grill arrangement 101 coupled with the solar panels, a rotary disc 102 installed with a pair of motorized sliders 103 arranged in parallel, an ETFE (Ethylene Tetra Fluoro ethylene) protective sheet 104 arranged over the solar panels via a door open-close arrangement, a pair of guiding rails 201 arranged opposite to the panels, the rails 201 integrated with a motorized roller 202, an anti-reflective coated low-iron glass sheet 203 rolled onto the roller 202, a rain protection arrangement 204 integrated with the disc 102, a plurality of motorized air blowers 105 mounted on the disc 102, a set of telescopic rods 106 are mounted on the disc 102 with reflectors 107 attached through motorized ball and socket joints 108, an AI (artificial intelligence)-enabled camera 109 installed in the disc 102, a plurality of flashlights 205 integrated with the disc 102, and a speaker unit 206 installed on the disc 102.

[0026] The disclosed device herein comprises of a rotating grill arrangement 101 coupled with the solar panels and designed to hold solar panels in a compact, folded configuration during periods of inactivity. Upon activation, rotational force is transmitted through a controlled pivot, enabling a sequential unfolding of the panels in a synchronized manner. The grill rotates about its central axis, guiding the panels from a closed to an open position, thereby ensuring maximum exposure to incoming sunlight. The movement of the arrangement 101 is precise, with locking provisions to stabilize panels at designated angles, minimizing mechanical stress and ensuring durability under operational and environmental conditions consistent with energy-harvesting functionality.

[0027] An integrated sun sensor functions as a detection unit designed to sense solar irradiance and initiate panel deployment. The sensor incorporates photodiode that generate an electrical signal proportional to incident sunlight intensity. Once the signal exceeds a predefined threshold, it triggers an inbuilt processing unit responsible for actuating the rotating grill arrangement 101. The sensor continuously monitors light conditions, maintaining deployment only when adequate solar energy is present. During absence or reduction of sunlight, the sensor output falls below the threshold, instructing the processing unit to retract or fold the panels, thereby providing efficient, automated regulation of panel positioning.

[0028] A plurality of UV (ultraviolet) sensors arranged on the outer surface of a rotary disc 102 installed are configured to detect, measure, and monitor incident ultraviolet radiation levels in real time. The sensors are positioned to ensure comprehensive spatial coverage across the disc’s surface, thereby enabling accurate, continuous, and responsive acquisition of UV intensity data. The plurality of sensors collectively operates to provide redundant, corroborative, and consistent radiation monitoring, reducing error margins while enhancing reliability and safety.

[0029] The UV sensors operates by simultaneously detecting ultraviolet radiation incident upon the disc’s outer surface and converting the radiation intensity into electrical signals. Each sensor functions independently yet communicates its output to the processing unit, which aggregates and analyzes the multiple data streams in real time. This distributed sensing arrangement enables continuous monitoring across different surface regions, thereby accounting for variations in radiation angles and intensities. The sensors ensure redundancy, thus ensuring uninterrupted data acquisition. The processing unit simultaneously processes the aggregated sensor signals to deliver accurate, real-time UV radiation monitoring outputs.

[0030] The processing unit herein operates as the central control unit, receiving continuous input from ultraviolet (UV) sensors. Upon detection of solar intensity and positional variance, it executes real-time computational protocols to determine the optimal angular displacement required for maximum solar capture. The processing unit transmits precise control signals to actuators associated with the rotary disc 102 and motorized sliders 103, ensuring synchronized movement. The processing unit is configured for automated operation, performing iterative calculations to optimize energy efficiency without human intervention.

[0031] The rotary disc 102 mentioned herein functions as a pivotal mounting platform for the solar panel stand. Upon receiving actuation commands from the processing unit, the disc 102 rotates along a fixed axis to orient the solar panels toward the sun. The rotation of the disc 102 incorporates bearings and torque-controlled motors, allowing smooth and precise angular adjustments. The disc 102 ensures that the solar panels maintain optimal exposure to UV radiation throughout the day. The disc 102 maximizes energy absorption by converting rotational motion into angular positioning, while compensating for diurnal solar movement. The disc’s rotation is continuously adjusted based on real-time sensor feedback to maintain alignment without manual calibration.

[0032] The pair of motorized sliders 103 is installed in parallel on the rotary disc 102, providing linear translational motion for a solar panel stand equipped with one or more solar panels. Each slider is equipped with stepper or servo motors controlled by the processing unit, enabling simultaneous extension and retraction. This linear motion adjusts the radial distance and tilt angle of the solar panels to optimize incident solar flux. The sliders 103 operate on guide rails with low-friction bearings, ensuring stability and precise positioning. The coordinated operation of both sliders 103 ensures uniform load distribution, structural integrity, and maximized energy capture efficiency.

[0033] The solar panel stand herein provides a secure framework for one or more photovoltaic panels. The stand adjusts in orientation and position as directed by the processing unit, responding to real-time UV sensor data. The structural design of the solar panel allows tilting, rotation, and linear extension to capture maximum solar radiation. The panels convert incident sunlight into electrical energy, while the stand maintains optimal exposure angles throughout diurnal and seasonal variations. The continuous realignment enhances energy efficiency and prolongs panel operational lifespan by minimizing shading and suboptimal incidence angles.

[0034] An ETFE (Ethylene Tetra Fluoro ethylene) protective sheet 104 affixed over the solar panels through a door open-close arrangement and functions as a transparent, lightweight barrier over solar panels, permitting the unhindered transmission of sunlight while mitigating the accumulation of dust, debris, and the impact of strong winds. Upon installation, the sheet 104 maintains a continuous coverage over the panel surface. The material’s resilience and flexibility allow the sheet 104 to deform under external forces without damage, returning to its original state thereafter. The door open-close arrangement herein serves as a dynamic interface controlling the positioning of the ETFE protective sheet 104.

[0035] The door open-close arrangement is mechanically coupled to the ETFE sheet 104 and linked to the integrated anemometer. Upon detection of wind speeds surpassing a pre-set threshold, the anemometer transmits a signal to actuators controlling the door, prompting it to close and secure the ETFE sheet 104 over the solar panels. Contrarily, when wind conditions normalize, the processing unit signals the door to retract, exposing panels fully to sunlight. This operation ensures protective coverage is applied only as necessary, maintaining both safety and energy efficiency.

[0036] A temperature regulation arrangement integrated with the disc 102 and operates to maintain the solar panels within a predetermined thermal range. The temperature regulation arrangement comprises a temperature sensor integrated with the panels, a pair of guiding rails 201 arranged opposite to the panels, the rails 201 integrated with a motorized roller 202, and an anti-reflective coated low-iron glass sheet 203 rolled onto the roller 202. Upon detection of excessive temperature by the temperature sensor, the motorized roller 202 deploys the anti-reflective coated low-iron glass sheet 203 along the guiding rails 201, covering the solar panels to reduce solar irradiance and heat accumulation.

[0037] When the temperature falls below the predefined threshold, the roller 202 retracts the glass sheet 203, restoring full exposure. The processing unit functions automatically to prevent overheating, ensuring panel efficiency and longevity while integrating seamlessly with the disc 102 structure without manual intervention. The temperature sensor herein continuously monitors the thermal state of each solar panel in real-time. When the panel temperature exceeds the predefined threshold, the sensor generates a signal transmitted to the motorized roller 202.

[0038] This signal triggers the deployment of the protective glass sheet 203 along the guiding rails 201. The sensor resumes monitoring during and after deployment, providing feedback to halt or retract the sheet 203 when temperatures normalize. The sensor ensures precise and timely operation of the regulation arrangement, enabling automatic activation and deactivation without external input, thereby safeguarding the panels against thermal stress. The pair of guiding rails 201 provide a stable and aligned path for the motorized roller 202 to move the glass sheet 203 vertically over the solar panels.

[0039] The rails 201 ensure smooth deployment and retraction, preventing tilting or misalignment that could damage the panels or impede coverage. The rails 201 also maintain uniform pressure and positioning of the glass sheet 203, ensuring full coverage when extended. The rails 201 facilitate controlled, repeatable motion, supporting automatic response to temperature variations by guiding the roller 202 and sheet 203 accurately, and ensuring consistent thermal protection for the solar panels. The motorized roller 202 herein configured to roll and unroll the anti-reflective glass sheet 203 along the guiding rails 201 in response to signals from the temperature sensor.

[0040] Upon activation, the roller 202 unrolls the sheet 203 gradually to cover the solar panels, reducing heat absorption. When temperatures fall below the threshold, the roller 202 retracts the sheet 203, rolling it back onto its axis. The roller’s motor provides controlled speed and torque to prevent sudden movements or damage to the glass. The anti-reflective coated low-iron glass sheet 203 mentioned above functions as a thermoregulatory barrier when deployed over the solar panels. The sheet 203 low-iron composition allows minimal absorption of solar heat while the anti-reflective coating reduces glare and maximizes light diffusion.

[0041] When lowered by the motorized roller 202 along the guiding rails 201, the sheet 203 partially blocks incident solar radiation, preventing overheating. Upon temperature normalization, the sheet 203 retracts to restore full exposure to sunlight. The glass sheet 203 ensures effective thermal management, protects the panels from excess heat, and preserves energy conversion efficiency while integrating seamlessly with the automatic deployment. A rain protection arrangement 204 integrated with the disc 102 and functions to shield the solar panels from precipitation and prevent operational disruption.

[0042] The rain protection arrangement 204 includes a rain sensor configured with the disc 102, and a covering unit arranged circumferentially along the disc 102. The rain sensor herein operates as a real-time precipitation detection. The sensor continuously monitors atmospheric moisture levels and droplet accumulation. When rain is detected, the sensor generates an electrical signal, transmitting it to the processing unit to initiate the protective sequence. The sensor employs conductivity to ensure accurate detection, allowing the covering unit to respond promptly. The sensor ensures that the protective action occurs only during actual rainfall, minimizing unnecessary activation.

[0043] The sensor thereby maintains the operational efficiency of the solar panels by preventing premature or delayed deployment of protective coverings. Upon detection of rainfall by an integrated rain sensor, a signal is transmitted to the processing unit, triggering the deployment of the covering unit. The covering unit circumferentially encases the disc 102, positioning a movable polycarbonate sheets over the solar panels. The sheets extend automatically to form a protective barrier, preventing water ingress and physical damage to panel surfaces. The covering unit functions as the mechanical barrier protecting the solar panels.

[0044] Upon receiving a signal from the rain sensor, actuators within the covering unit extend the sheets over the panels. The covering unit is designed to uniformly distribute the sheets, ensuring full coverage while preventing gaps that allow water ingress. Following rainfall, the actuators retract the sheets to their stowed position, maintaining an unobstructed surface for solar collection. The covering unit ensures seamless transition between protection and exposure, preserving both panel safety and energy efficiency. The polycarbonate sheet herein serves as the primary protective barrier against rain.

[0045] The sheet is mechanically movable along a guided track. Upon actuation by the covering unit, the sheet slides or rotates into position over the solar panels, forming a waterproof shield. The sheet’s transparency allows ambient light diffusion while protecting panels from physical impact. After rainfall, the sheet retracts automatically, exposing the panels for normal operation. An optical dust sensor provided with the disc 102 and operates by emitting a focused beam of light, typically from a laser, towards the target panel surface.

[0046] Particulate matter present on the surface scatters the incident light, which is then detected by a photodetector positioned at a specific angle. The sensor converts the intensity and pattern of scattered light into an electrical signal, which is processed to quantify dust accumulation. The sensor continuously monitors the panel surface in real-time, providing automated feedback to the processing unit for selective and localized dust removal. Post successful detection of accumulated dust by the optical dust sensor, the processing unit actuates a plurality of motorized air blowers 105 arranged on the disc 102.

[0047] Each blower 105 comprises a rotor driven by a motor to generate high-velocity airflow. Upon activation, the blowers 105 rotate with the disc 102, directing a concentrated stream of air toward dust-affected panel areas. The processing unit modulates blower 105 speed and rotation angle to ensure uniform cleaning, preventing surface damage. The coordinated operation of multiple blowers 105 ensures comprehensive dust removal over the panel surface, providing localized pressure adjustments in response to real-time sensor feedback for efficient particulate displacement. A set of telescopic rods 106 are installed on the disc 102 with reflectors 107 for automatically aligning and directing sunlight onto the solar panels.

[0048] The telescopic rods 106 are linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rods 106. The pneumatic unit is operated by the processing unit, such that the processing unit actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the rods 106 and due to applied pressure the rods 106 extends and similarly, the processing unit retracts the telescopic rods 106 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston.

[0049] Thus, the processing unit regulates the extension/retraction of the rods 106 in order to automatically direct sunlight onto the solar panels. The reflectors 107 mentioned herein are affixed to motorized ball and socket joints 108 permitting rotation along multiple axes. Servo motors actuate the joints 108 for enabling precise angular positioning of each reflector. The spherical joint ensures smooth articulation while accommodating varying tilt and pan movements required to direct sunlight onto the solar panels. The processing unit maintains stability under environmental loads, locking the reflector in place when aligned. The coordinated control of multiple reflectors 107 allows for simultaneous, focused sunlight concentration on designated photovoltaic surfaces.

[0050] An AI-enabled camera 109 integrated with an image recognition module designed for real-time monitoring of its operational environment. The camera 109 autonomously captures visual data, processes the data via embedded artificial intelligence protocols, and identifies the presence of humans, animals, or other potential threats within its field of view. Upon detection, the processing unit trigger predefined alerts or recording protocols. The AI-enabled camera 109 continuously captures live video streams, which are transmitted to an onboard processor. The image recognition module analyzes each frame using trained machine learning protocols to classify and detect humans, animals, or other objects.

[0051] The detected entities are assigned confidence scores, and the processing unit differentiates between potential threats and non-threats. Upon recognition, the camera 109 initiate automated actions such as sending alerts, activating alarms, or storing footage. A deterring unit is integrated with the disc 102 and configured to protect solar panels from animal-induced damage. Upon detecting an animal, the deterring unit activates to repel the animal. The deterring unit continuously monitors its surroundings and selectively engages its visual and auditory deterrents based on environmental conditions.

[0052] The deterring unit comprises of a plurality of flashlights 205, an IR (infrared) sensor integrated with the disc 102, and a speaker unit 206. The plurality of flashlights 205 is configured to emit high-intensity light pulses targeting the vision of animals during nighttime. Upon receiving a directional signal from the integrated IR sensor, the flashlights 205 are selectively activated and aligned toward the animal. The light frequency, intensity, and pulse duration are controlled to maximize aversive impact without affecting human safety. The flashlights 205 operate in a coordinated pattern, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the solar panel vicinity. The flashlights 205 function dynamically, adjusting orientation based on real-time animal movement, thereby providing continuous visual deterrence that prevents approach or interaction with the solar panels during nocturnal periods.

[0053] The infrared (IR) sensor mentioned herein detects thermal signatures emitted by nearby animals. Upon detecting such a signature, the sensor calculates the animal’s direction, speed, and proximity relative to the solar panel array. This data is transmitted in real-time to the flashlights 205 and other deterrent components, enabling precise alignment and targeted activation. The sensor continuously scans the environment, filtering out irrelevant thermal sources, thereby minimizing false activations. The IR sensor ensures responsive, automated deterrence by providing directional guidance to the flashlights 205 and speaker unit 206, thereby enhancing the efficacy of animal repulsion while maintaining operational efficiency of the solar panels.

[0054] The speaker unit 206 mentioned above is configured to emit specific sounds designed to repel animals during daytime hours. Upon receiving input from the IR sensor regarding the animal’s presence and location, the speaker generates sound frequencies and patterns recognized as aversive to the targeted species. The speaker unit 206 operates directionally, focusing sound energy toward the animal to maximize deterrent effect while minimizing noise pollution. The timing, volume, and frequency of the emitted sound are adjusted dynamically based on animal proximity and movement.

[0055] A computing unit is interlinked with the processing unit and facilitates real-time monitoring, control, alert generation, and operational management. This integration is effectuated through a user-interface embedded within the computing unit, enabling the operator to execute, observe, and regulate system functions with immediate responsiveness. The computing unit includes a user interface for enabling the user to input commands regarding the real-time monitoring, control, alerts, and operational management. The computing unit is linked with the processing unit via an integrated communication module that includes but is not limited to a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module, a Wi-Fi module, or a Bluetooth module, which is capable of establishing a wireless network between the processing unit and the computing unit.

[0056] The database, seamlessly interconnected with the processing unit, serves as a centralized repository for operational data, encompassing energy production metrics, sensor-generated readings, and maintenance records. The database ensures systematic organization, secure storage, and immediate accessibility of critical information. Through real-time synchronization, the database facilitates continuous updates, enabling remote monitoring, diagnostics, and timely decision-making by authorized personnel. The integration guarantees that data integrity is maintained, historical records are preserved, and operational anomalies are promptly identified.

[0057] Moreover, a battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes known as a cathode and an anode. A voltage is generated between the anode and cathode via oxidation/reduction and thus produces the electrical energy to provide to the device.

[0058] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the device is operated through the integration of the processing unit configured to coordinate real-time functions of the solar panel optimization and protection system. The processing unit receives inputs from the sun sensor to activate the rotating grill arrangement 101 which maintains the solar panels in folded position during inactivity and automatically unfolds the panels upon sunlight detection. The processing unit processes signal from the UV sensors arranged on the disc 102 surface and actuates the motorized sliders 103 and rotary disc 102 to adjust orientation of the solar panel stand for maximum solar energy capture. The ETFE protective sheet 104 positioned over the solar panels through the door open-close arrangement is activated by the processing unit upon wind speed data from the anemometer, thereby protecting the panels while allowing sunlight transmission. The temperature sensor monitors thermal conditions of the panels, whereupon the processing unit actuates the roller 202 to lower the anti-reflective coated low-iron glass sheet 203 along the guiding rails 201 to regulate overheating. The rain sensor communicates with the processing unit to deploy the polycarbonate covering unit to shield the panels. The processing unit further governs the motorized air blowers 105 with Peltier unit based on optical dust sensor input for cleaning operations. The telescopic rods 106 with motorized reflectors 107 align under processing unit command to enhance irradiation. The AI-enabled camera 109 coupled with image recognition module detects threats, whereupon the IR sensor directs the flashlights 205 and the speaker unit 206 for animal deterrence. The computing unit connected with the processing unit provides real-time monitoring, control, and user interface management, while the database stores operational data, energy production logs, and maintenance records for remote diagnostics.
