Description
Improvements to solar panels Field of the invention [1] The invention relates to solar panels. In particularly, the invention relates to panels with a repeating surface structure of photovoltaic cells for efficiently 5 receiving sunlight incident at a variety of different angles.
Background of the invention
[2] Typically, solar panels comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells, with planar surfaces on which sunlight is incident in use, supported by a frame structure. The efficiency of a solar panel's operation is affected by many external factors, one of which is the angle of incidence of the sunlight. Photovoltaic cells are most efficient when their surfaces are directed perpendicularly to the sunlight.
[3] The Sun's position relative to any fixed point on the surface of the Earth varies on a daily cycle due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis.
Consequently, a solar panel having a fixed position and orientation will only reach 15 peak efficiency for a brief period each day, if direct sunlight is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel.
[4] Many different solutions have been proposed to increase the efficiency of sobs power generation. Some such solutions track the position of the Sun in the sky relative to a solar panel or array of solar panels, and cause the solar panels to move Sc) as to track the Sun and maintain their surfaces perpendicular to the sunlight. This may be achieved, for example, by robotic arms or other forms of mechanical actuation. Such solutions are expensive, and require complex control technology in order to operate successfully.
[5] It is becoming increasingly corrunon for private residences to install small 25 solar arrays, for example on the rooves of houses. Small solar arrays are appearing in a wide variety of contexts in order to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. In these contexts, expensive control technology for constantly adjusting the position of solar panels is impractical. The efficiency of such installations is therefore very limited.
[6] A solution is needed to provide a more consistent angle of irradiation throughout the day which is practical for smaller solar arrays, and less expensive for larger solar arrays.
Summary of the invention
[7] The invention provides a solar panel having a main face, a plurality of structural cells being disposed across the main face, each structural cell comprising a plurality of surfaces, each one of the plurality of surfaces of a structural cell facing a different direction to each of the other surfaces of said structural cell; wherein the collective surfaces of each structural cell support or comprise at least one photovoltaic cell.
[8] The advantages of this structure include at least a portion of each structural cell being substantially perpendicular to incident sunlight for a wide range of solar 15 positions, and therefore for a longer time period through the day. This allows for more efficient harvesting of solar energy.
[9] In some embodiments, the plurality of structural cells are arranged in a repeating pattern across the main face of the solar panel.
[10] In some embodiments, each surface of each structural cell comprises or 20 houses a respective photovoltaic cell.
[11] In such embodiments, some of the photovoltaic cells will be substantially perpendicular to the incident sunlight at any given time, and converting solar energy most efficiently. Other photovoltaic cells will be operating less efficiently or not at all, depending on their orientation with respect to the incident sunlight.
[012] In other embodiments, each structural cell comprises a single respective solar cell, each respective solar cell being distributed across all of the surfaces of each respective structural cell.
[013] Tn such embodiments, a portion of each of the photovoltaic cells will be substantially perpendicular to the incident sunlight. In this way, each photovoltaic cell will generate electricity throughout the period that the sunlight is incident on at least one of its respective cell surfaces.
[014] In some embodiments, the structural cells are circular frustum hollows through the solar panel.
[015] This curved structure provides an effectively infinite number of infinitesimal surfaces, each facing a different direction to all the others, providing an efficient multi-directional solar energy harvesting cell.
[016] In other embodiments, the structural cells are square frustum hollows through the solar panel.
[17] In other embodiments, the structural cells are hexagonal columnar hollows through the solar panel. In some such embodiments, the corners of the hexagonal columnar hollows of the structural cells are hinged, and a rigid frame is provided around the edge of the main face, said frame being hinged at its corners so that the solar panel is movable from a folded configuration to a locked deployed configuration.
[18] In other embodiments, the structural cells are bell-shaped protrusions from the solar panel.
[0191 In other embodiments, the structural cells comprise the spaces between: a first set of louvres across the main surface of the solar panel, wherein the louvres of the first set of louvres are parallel to each other; and a second set of louvres across the main surface of the solar panel, wherein the louvres of the second set are parallel to each other and perpendicular to and slotted together with the louvres of the first set of louvres.
[0201 In some such embodiments, each of the louvres of both the first and the second sets of louvres is pivotably attached to the solar panel so as to allow the adjustment of their angles with respect to the plane of the main face of the solar panel.
[21] In some such louvred embodiments, a rigid frame is provided around the edge of the main face, said frame being hinged at its corners so as to be movable 5 from a folded configuration to a locked deployed configuration.
[22] Such embodiments are even rnore versatile than the static embodiments discussed so far. Since the orientation of the slats of the louvred structures can be adjusted, a larger proportion of the surface area of the surfaces of each structural cell can be directed towards the incident sunlight at any given time. This leads to a still more efficient harvesting of solar energy.
[23] In some such embodiments, the apparatus comprises electronic actuation means to control the adjustment of the angles of the louvres with respect to the plane of the main face of the solar panel

Detailed description
[31] Figure 1 depicts a first embodiment of the invention, comprising a solar 5 panel 1 having a main face 2, and a plurality of structural cells 3. Each structural cell 3 is a circular frustum hollow (a partial cone). The structural cells 3 are arranged in rows and columns so as to cover most of the main face 2 of the solar panel 1. I bach structural cell 3 has a circular frustum shaped photovoltaic cell covering substantially all of its surface. Other embodiments are envisaged 10 comprising a plurality of curved photovoltaic cells covering different respective portions of the surface of each structural cell 3.
[32] As with all of the other embodiments of the invention, each photovoltaic cell is connected to suitable power conversion circuitry, which may include a maximum power point tracking system. The photovoltaic cells of the solar panel 1 may be connected to each other in series or in parallel, according to the particular output requirements.
1033] Figure 2 depicts a second embodiment of the invention, comprising a solar panel 4 having a main face 5 and a plurality of structural cells 6. Each structural cell 6 is a square frustum hollow (a partial pyramid). The structural cells 6 are arranged in rows and columns so as to cover substantially all of the main face 5 of the solar panel 4.
[34] I bach of the structural cells 6 comprises four surfaces, each facing a different direction. In some embodiments, each of the four surfaces is substantially covered by its own respective photovoltaic cell. In other embodiments, a square frustum 25 shaped photovoltaic cell covers all four surfaces.
[35] Figure 3 depicts a third embodiment of the invention, comprising a solar panel 7 having a main face 8 and a plurality of structural cells 9. Hach structural cell 9 is a hexagonal columnar hollow (a honeycomb structure). The structural cells 9 are arranged in a tessellating pattern so as to cover substantially all of the main face 8 of the solar panel 7.
[36] Each of the structural cells 9 comprises six surfaces, each facing a different 5 direction. In some embodiments, each of the six surfaces is substantially covered by its own respective photovoltaic cell. In other embodiments, a hexagonal columnar shaped photovoltaic cell covers all six surfaces.
[37] Preferably, each of the corners of the hexagonal columnar structural cells 9 is hinged. The frame surrounding the main surface is also hinged at the corners, in such a way as to be lockable into its deployed position. The photovoltaic cells used in such embodiments are lightweight and flexible, having flexible folding joints at the hinged corners of the structural cells. Such embodiments are particularly advantageous because they allow for the solar panel to be folded up compactly in a stowed configuration when not in use, for example for transportation.
[38] Figure 4 depicts a fourth embodiment of the invention, comprising a solar panel 10 having a main face 11 and a plurality of structural cells 12. I lach structural cell 12 is a bell-shaped protrusion. The structural cells 12 are arranged in closely fitting columns so as to cover most of the main surface 11 of the solar panel 10. Each structural cell 12 has a bell-shaped photovoltaic cell covering substantially all of its surface. Other embodiments are envisaged comprising a plurality of curved photovoltaic cells covering different respective portions of the surface of each structural cell 12.
[39] Preferably, the main surface, the structural cells and the photovoltaic cells 25 covering the structural cells in such embodiments are flexible. In this way, the solar panel can be draped over a non-flat surface in use to provide additional versatility and multi-directionality to the solar-energy receiving surfaces.
[40] Figure 5 depicts a fifth embodiment of the invention, comprising a solar panel 13 having a main face 14 and a plurality of structural cells 15. A first set of louvres 16 is disposed across the main face 14 of the solar panel 13, parallel to one another. A second set of louvres 17 is disposed across the main face 14 of the solar panel 13, parallel to one another and perpendicular to and slotted together with the first set of louvres 16.
[41] In some such embodiments, the louvres 16, 17 are hinged so that the orientation of their surfaces can be adjusted. Figure 6 depicts a detail of one such embodiment.
[042] The louvres 16, 17 are hinged about their lengthwise centres. The orientation of the proximal halves (closest to the solar panel 13) of the first set of louvres 16 is fixed relative to the solar panel 13. The orientation of the distal halves of the second set of louvres 17 is fixed relative to the solar panel 13. The orientation of the distal halves of the first set of louvres 16 is adjustable relative to the solar panel 13. The orientation of the proximal halves of the second set of louvres 17 is adjustable relative to the solar panel 13.
[43] Width-wise slots 18, 19 are provided through the adjustable halves of all of the louvres 16, 17. The fixed proximal halves of the first set of louvres 16 pass through the slots 18 of the second set of louvres 17. The fixed distal halves of the second set of louvres 17 pass through the slots 19 of the first set of louvres 16.
[44] This arrangement allows a portion of each louvre of each set of louvres 16, 17 to be adjusted relative to the solar panel 13 independently of the louvres of the other set 17, 16.
[45] Although the Figure depicts two sets of louvres 16, 17 which are arranged perpendicularly to one another, this is not necessarily the case. Other louvred arrangements with suitable slots and hinges are also contemplated. For example, two sets of louvres 16, 17 which cross each other but are not perpendicular, could be provided to vary the range of angles to which the photovoltaic cells can be directed. In some embodiments, three sets of louvres may be provided which cross in such a ways as to provide triangular structural cells.
[0461 Although the invention has been described above with reference to certain preferred embodiments, these embodiments do not limit the scope of the 5 invention. The scope of the invention is limited only by the claims.
