BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Generally, solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The solar panels consist of multiple solar cells connected in series or parallel, typically made of silicon, which generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. Further, the solar panels are an essential component of solar energy unit, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial use, offering a renewable and sustainable source of electricity. However, solar panels are vulnerable to various weather conditions, including rainfall and strong winds, which potentially damage or reduce their efficiency. The rainfall cause water ingress, leading to corrosion of electrical components and deterioration of panel performance over time. And excessive wind speeds affect solar panels to mechanical stress, potentially causing them to detach from their mounts or sustain physical damage. Additionally, debris carried by high winds impact the surface of the panels, resulting in scratches or cracks that diminish panel’s ability to capture sunlight effectively.

[0003] Traditional methods for protecting solar panels often involves common approach is to mount solar panels on sturdy structures, such as rooftops or ground-based frames, using robust fastening like bolts or clamps. Additionally, some installations incorporate angled mounts or racks to optimize the orientation of panels relative to the sun and minimize wind resistance. However, the traditional methods of solar panel protection have several drawbacks. Primarily, traditional coatings or treatments applied to solar panels that degrade over time due to exposure to sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental stressors, compromising their effectiveness in safeguarding against moisture ingress or UV damage. Additionally, the reliance on manual inspection and maintenance practices to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in solar panel installations is labor-intensive and prone to oversight or neglect, resulting in reduced performance or premature failure of the panels. So, need to develop an equipment that is efficient in eliminating these drawbacks and also able to provide protection to the solar panel in effective manner.

[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] 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.

[0021] The present invention relates to an automated solar panel protection device for adverse weather conditions that is capable of protecting the solar panel from bad weather condition along from the birds without any requirement of skilled persons thereby maintain the solar panel for longer duration.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view of an automated solar panel protection device for adverse weather conditions in stowed and deployed state, respectively are illustrated, comprising a rectangular frame 101 installed with an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 110, a motorized drawer arrangement 102 integrated within the frame 101, a motorized roller 103 arranged on the frame 101 wrapped with an air-inflating sheet 104 coiled on the roller 103 , multiple motorized hinge joints 105 arranged on the frame 101, multiple inverted U-shaped links 106 attached with each of the joints 105, a speaker 107 configured on the frame 101, multiple suction cups 108 configured on bottom portion of the frame 101, and an air compressor 109 installed on the frame 101.

[0023] The proposed device comprises of a rectangular frame 101 that is developed to be made from but not limited wooden material and metallic material alike utilize to position over a solar panel, wherein the frame 101 encased with various components associated with the device arranged in sequential manner that aids in protecting the solar panel. The frame 101 is equipped with multiple suction cups 108 ranging from 6 to 8 in numbers, wherein the suction cups 108 aid a user in affixing the frame 101 around the solar panel. Upon positioning of the platform on the fixed surface by the user, the suction cups 108 create partial vacuum within the cups 108 upon pressing of the frame 101 around the solar panel by squeezing out air from the cups 108 due to which the suction cups 108 further generated negative pressure inside suction area associated with the suction cups 108. Herein, atmospheric pressure outside the cups 108 presses down low-pressure area inside the cups 108 to generate suction around periphery of each of the suction cups 108 to adhere surface around the solar panel and affix the frame 101 around the solar panel in an appropriate manner.

[0024] The user herein requires to activate the device manually by pressing a button associated with the device and assembled with the frame 101. The button is type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa. After activating of the device by the user, a microcontroller associated with the device generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 110 installed on the frame 101 to detect dimensions of the solar panel.

[0025] The detection of dimensions of the solar panel via the imaging unit 110 assists the device in altering the position of the curved body via extension and retraction of the frame 101 for securing the frame 101 around the solar panel, wherein the imaging unit 110 comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images of the surrounding. The camera firstly captures multiple images of the surrounding, wherein the camera comprises of a body, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the surroundings.

[0026] After capturing of the images by the camera, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After then the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor. The sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the surroundings in electronic signal. Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 110 processes the captured images by using a code of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal. The data is now transmitted to the microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data and analyze to detect dimensions of the solar panel.

[0027] After detecting the dimensions of the solar panel, the microcontroller generates a command to actuate a motorized drawer arrangement 102 equipped with frame 101 to extend/ retract for increasing/ decreasing dimensions of the frame 101, wherein the drawer arrangement 102 comprises of a carriage assembly and a DC (direct current) motor that works in collaboration to extend and retract the frame 101. The carriage assembly fitted with two rails that are used for sliding the block up and down. The block opening located at the end of the rail and have two clips that are used to secure the frame 101. To extend the drawer, the drawer is pushed to open and the carriage assembly slide outward. This creates an opening to allow extension and retraction of the arrangement 102 to provide extension and retraction of the frame 101 to secure the frame 101 around the solar panel.

[0028] A sensing module, herein configured on the frame 101 for detecting intensity of rainfall and speed of wind blowing in surroundings. The sensing module includes a rain detection sensor and an anemometer that works in collaboration to detect the detect intensity of rainfall and speed of wind blowing in surroundings. The rain sensor involves the use of optical or capacitive technology to detect the presence of raindrops in the surrounding. When raindrops fall on the sensor, the sensor disrupt infrared light beam, triggering a signal indicating the intensity of rainfall. The detected data is transmitted to the microcontroller where it analyzes to detect the intensity of rainfall in the surrounding. Further, the anemometer comprises of a spinning wheel and fan which gets rotate when the wheel is powered by the wind blows in the surrounding through which the anemometer detects the number of rotations of the fan. The number of rotations is further calibrated by the sensor in the voltage which is transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0029] After that the microcontroller analyzes the data to detect the wind speed in the surroundings. The data of detected intensity of rain and speed of wind blowing is now used by the microcontroller to compare with pre-determined threshold value pre-fed in database of the microcontroller. Based on comparing if the detected intensity of rainfall or speed of wind exceeds the threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a motorized roller 103 wrapped with air-inflating sheet 104 assembled on the frame 101 for rotating on its axis to unwind the sheet 104. The motorized roller 103 is coupled with a motor that is activated by the microcontroller to rotate the roller 103 with specified speed in order to uncoil the sheet 104.

[0030] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates multiple motorized hinge joints 105 ranging from (6 to 8 in numbers) assembled on the frame 101 for providing movement to multiple inverted U-shaped links 106 attached with each of the joints 105 and deploy the sheet 104 attached between the links 106 over the solar panel. The hinge joint typically refers to a mechanical joint that allows rotational movement around a fixed axis using a motor or actuator which provides the rotational force required to move the joint. The motor is typically controlled by an electronic control unit that regulates its speed and direction. The hinge joint consists of a hinge mechanism that enables rotation around a fixed axis to move the sheet 104 via the links 106 and deploy over the solar panel thereby protecting the solar panel from any physical damage due to the rainfall and high-speed wind. Further, if the sensing module do not detect the rainfall and speed of wind blowing in surroundings, the microcontroller does not actuate the roller 103 and the hinge joints 105 to deploy the sheet 104 over the solar panel.

[0031] Upon deploying of the sheet 104 over the solar panel as detected via the imaging unit 110, the microcontroller actuates an air compressor 109 integrated on the frame 101 for inflating the air inflating sheet 104 to protect the solar panel from rainfall and high-speed winds. The air compressor 109 comprises of a motor, an inlet and outlet valve, a pump, and a storage tank. The air of surroundings of the sheet 104 enters from the inlet valve to compressed and pumped into the tank. The volume of air then reduced by a mechanical equipment powered by the motor. When the pressure reaches a certain level, then the compressor 109 shut off automatically. Further, the collected pressurized air in the storage tank is passed through the outlet valve to exit out accordingly within the sheet 104 for inflating the air inflating sheet 104 and protect the solar panel from rainfall and high-speed winds.

[0032] A color sensor synced with the imaging unit 110, herein configured on the frame 101 to detect presence of snow or hail over surface of the solar panel. The color sensor comprises of a white light emitter and RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) filters that works in synchronously to measure wavelength of the RGB present on the surface of solar panel. The emitter emits white light towards the solar panel. After that the sensor activates the filter to measures the wavelength sensitivities to the RGB. Based on the detected intensity of the wavelength, the sensor detects the color of the surface of the solar panel. The detected is further transmitted to the microcontroller to analyze the detected color and further determines presence of snow/ hail over surface of the solar panel. After the detection of the snow or hail, the microcontroller actuates multiple heating units ranging from 4 to 6 in numbers configured on the frame 101 to provide an optimum amount of heat over the solar panel.

[0033] The heating unit comprises of a heating coil that is activated by the microcontroller to produce heating effect to the surface of the solar panel thereby melting the snow or hail and removing the snow or hail from the solar panel with ease. Herein, the intensity of the heat is alter based on weight of the accumulated snow or hail on the surface of the solar panel as detected via weight sensor installed with the frame 101. The weight sensor comprises a weight transducer that convert weight of the snow or hail into an electrical signal that exert a downward force on the weight sensor. Within load cell of the sensor, there are strain gauges that deform slightly due to weight. The deformation causes changes in electrical resistance within the strain gauges. The sensor then calibrates the resistance to detect weight of the snow or hail on the surface of the solar panel. The sensor then transmitted the detected data to the microcontroller where it analyzes and detect the weight of the accumulated snow or hail on the surface of the solar panel based on that the microcontroller regulates the intensity of heat released by the heating unit for removing the snow/hail.

[0034] A temperature sensor herein discloses is integrated with the frame 101 for detecting surrounding temperature. The temperature sensor operates based on the principle of detecting infrared radiation emitted by the surrounding. The temperature sensor comprises crucial components such as an infrared sensor, an optical arrangement, and a detector. It functions on the principle of detecting infrared radiation emitted by the surrounding. When the temperature exceeds absolute zero, it emits infrared radiation. The sensor captures this radiation using its optical arrangement, directing it onto a detector. Common detectors, like thermopiles or pyroelectric sensors, then convert the received infrared energy into an electrical signal. This signal undergoes processing by electronic components, translating it into a temperature reading of the surrounding. Based on detection, the microcontroller regulates the actuation of the heating units in melting the snow/hail.

[0035] A thermal sensor synced with the imaging unit 110, herein discloses is configured on the frame 101 to detect presence of birds sitting on the solar panel. The thermal sensor works by detecting changes in temperature due to presence of the birds and converting them into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by the sensor to provide accurate temperature reading of the birds. The temperature reading is further calibrated by the sensor to detect the presence of the birds on the solar panel.

[0036] After the detecting of the presence of birds sitting on the solar panel, the microcontroller activates a speaker 107 assembled on the frame 101 to produce audio alerts for repelling the birds from the solar panel. The speaker 107, herein includes a diaphragm, which is typically made of a lightweight and rigid material like paper, plastic, or metal. It is designed to vibrate and produce sound waves when electrical signals are fed to it. A voice coil (a tightly wound coil of wire) attached with the diaphragm of the speaker 107. The voice coil is suspended within a magnetic gap. When an electrical current flows through the coil, it interacts with the magnetic field produced by the magnet assembly, resulting in a force that moves the coil. The magnet assembly creates a magnetic field within the speaker 107. It consists of a permanent magnet and a metal structure, such as a pole piece or a magnet plate. The magnet assembly provides a fixed magnetic field through which the voice coil moves.

[0037] The strength and configuration of the magnet assembly influence the performance and efficiency of the speaker 107. The cone/diaphragm is connected to the speaker 107’s frame 101 via a suspension unit, which includes the surround and spider. When the electrical signal passes through the voice coil, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the fixed magnetic field produced by the magnet assembly. As the electrical current varies, the magnetic field produced by the voice coil changes, resulting in the voice coil and attached cone/diaphragm moving back and forth. This movement creates pressure variations in the surrounding air, generating sound waves to generate the audible sound to alert the birds for repelling from the solar panel.

[0038] Additionally, an angle sensor is integrated with the frame 101 for detecting orientation of the frame 101. The angle sensor works based on the principle of detecting changes in magnetic fields or optical signals. By analyzing these changes, the angle sensor accurately determines the angle or position of the frame 101 with respect to the solar panel being measured. This information is then further transmitted to the microcontroller in the form of digital signal to analyze and detect angle with respect to the determined angle of the frame 101 with respect to the solar panel based on which if the microcontroller finds inappropriate orientation, the microcontroller sends the data in the form of notification in a touch interactive display panel installed with the frame 101 for notifying the user regrading inappropriate orientation of the frame 101 with the solar panel.

[0039] The display panel comprises of an adaptive LCD (liquid crystal display) that works by using liquid crystals that are manipulated by electric currents to control the passage of light through the display. When an electric current is applied, the liquid crystals align in a way that either allows light to pass through or blocks it, creating the images and color that is being visible on the screen regarding the inappropriate orientation of the frame 101 with the solar panel in order to take major steps to adjust the frame 101 with respect to the solar panel.

[0040] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so they effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0041] The present invention works best in following manner, where the rectangular frame 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be installed over a solar panel, wherein an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 110 is installed on the frame 101 and paired with a processor for capturing and processing multiple images of surroundings, respectively based on which the microcontroller actuates a motorized drawer arrangement 102 integrated within the frame 101 to extend/ retract for increasing/ decreasing dimensions of the frame 101 and secure the frame 101 around the solar panel. Also, in case the detected intensity of rainfall or speed of wind exceeds a pre-determined threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a motorized roller 103 arranged on the frame 101 for rotating on its to unwind an air-inflating sheet 104 coiled on the roller 103 . Also, the hinge joints 105 arranged on the frame 101 that are synchronously actuated by the microcontroller for providing movement to multiple inverted U-shaped links 106 attached with each of the joints 105 in order to deploy the sheet 104 attached between the links 106 over the solar panel, thereby protecting the solar panel from any physical damage due to the rainfall/ high speed winds.

[0042] In continuation, the color sensor synced with the imaging unit 110 to detect presence of snow/ hail over surface of the solar panel, wherein upon detection of snow/ hail over the surface, the microcontroller actuates the heating units configured on the frame 101 to provide an optimum amount of heat over the solar panel, thereby melting the snow/ hail and removing the snow/ hail from the solar panel with ease.
