Solar Panel Shapes, Configurations, and Methods of Installing and Positioning Solar Panels - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022206 titled 'Solar Panel Shapes, Configurations, and Methods of Installing and Positioning Solar Panels

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a solar panel or multiple solar panels with an elliptically-shaped cross-section defined by the equation x/a + y/b = 1, where a and b are positive numbers. The panels can be either cylindrical or planar and can be mounted vertically on a frame that can be rotated around an axis. The technology also includes a methodology for installing and positioning the solar panels to maximize the number of panels on a given ground area and optimize their electrical output.

  • Solar panels have an elliptically-shaped cross-section defined by the equation x/a + y/b = 1.

  • Cost-effective utilization of limited space for solar installations.
  • Flexibility in mounting and positioning solar panels.
  • Integration into various applications and environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

a solar panel or a plurality of solar panels may each have a length and a cross-section, wherein the solar panel cylinder has an elliptically-shaped cross-section, wherein the elliptically-shaped cross-section is defined by an equation x/a+y/b=1, wherein the value of n is greater than or equal to 2, and wherein a and b are any positive numbers. the solar panels may also be planar with a plurality of solar panels mounted to a frame, having the frame mounted vertically to a vertical rod, and turning the rotatable rod about an axis. in another aspect of this technology a methodology of installing and positioning solar panels is implemented for maximizing the number of panels to be installed on and above a given ground area, and/or positioning for peak electrical output.
