- Figures 16 show a further embodiment of the system of the present invention.
- Figures 17 show a further embodiment of the system of the present invention.
- the present system generally comprises a solar panel
- the microcontroller 12 monitors orientation of the solar panel 10 in relation to the sun (S), by rotation about one or two axis (see rotation 1 and rotation 2 in Figure 1), and movement of the solar panel (see translation in Figure 1) from a deployed operating position to a sheltered non operating position into a shelter 16. Each axis may be driven using a motorization and/or power unit.
- the solar panel 10 receives energy from the sun (S) and the microcontroller 12 drives motors R1 and/or motor R2 to control the orientation of the solar panel 10 about axis of rotation 1 and/or axis of rotation 2 respectively, out of the shelter 16.
- the microcontroller 12 also controls the translation movement of the panel (see translation in Figure 1) from its operating position outside of the shelter 16 to the shielded position inside the shelter 16 whenever damaging conditions are detected for example, as will be explained below, by controlling a motor T.
- the microcontroller 12 may receive data for tracking the position of the sun from photoresistive cells/phototransistors or differential sensors 18 for example.
- the microcontroller 12 may also receive data from sensors 20 measuring the power of the cells of the panel 10, and be programmed to stop operation of the panel 1O 1 by withdrawal of the panel 10 into its non operating position in the shelter 16 for example, under a threshold of measured power indicating that the panel 10 is at risk of being critically damaged if further used.
- a further sensor 22, such as a limit switch may be used to indicate the extent of motion of the panel 10 out of the shelter 16, up to a maximum run.
- the microcontroller 12 may be connected to an external network 30 and/or to a user interface 32. Moreover, the microcontroller 12 may be connected to a weather station 34, i.e. a set of sensors such as barometers, photoresistive cells/phototransistors, anenometers etc..
- a weather station 34 i.e. a set of sensors such as barometers, photoresistive cells/phototransistors, anenometers etc.
- the external network 30 may be a phone or cable network or any communication system.
- the user interface 32 allows a user to configure the system and to monitor the state of the system.
- the system may also be provided with a software for automated control thereof.
- the system may be self sufficient, by using photoresistive cells/phototransistors 18 determining the posilion of the sun for example.
- the system may further be connected to an alarm system.
- Tracking of the sun (S) is performed by the sensors 18.
- additional tracking tools are provided, through equations and the external network 30.
- the posilion of the sun relative to a location on earth may be predicted using known equations (F. C. McQuiston, J. D. Parker, J. D. Spitler, Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning, Analysis and Design, Wiley, 6th Edition, 2005. Reference web: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php).
- the position where the sun should be can be computed.
- Comparison of these different sources of data about the position of the sun (S) allow a precise positioning of the sun, and therefore an optimised orientation of the panel 10 and an optimised performance thereof at all times.
- the present system allows effective protection of the panel 10, by monitoring the power yield of the panel 10 as mentioned before (through sensors 20), by connection to the external network 30 for notices of precipitations or any imminent adverse conditions, and to the weather station 34 for example.
- the panel 10 may also be manually moved from its operating position to a non operating position.
- the shelter 16 allows the panel 10 to be stored whenever wished, for example to prevent thief thereof.
- Conditions prompting withdrawal of the panel 10 from its operating position to a non operating position can include adverse forecasted meteorological conditions received by the microcontroller 12 from the weather station 34 and / or the external network 30 and detected values related to failure of cells of the solar panel from sensors 20 located on the surface of the panel 10 as mentioned before for example.
- a command may further be initiated by a user through the user interface 32, or remotely through the external network 30.
- Figure 2 show results obtained with a system according to an embodiment of the present invention (squares) and those obtained with a system of the prior art (rhomboids), in terms of instantaneous power (W) versus lime (hh:mm), during the course of a day, from sunrise to sunset.
- the system of the prior art used for the comparison comprises a fixed panel oriented towards the south at 45°, which is known as the best configuration for a fixed panel in Quebec, where the experiment took place (see for example https://glfc.cfsnet.nfis.org/mapserver/pv/index.php?).
- the system of present invention squares
- FIGs 3a and 4a solar panels 10 are shown extending out from the surface of an exterior wall 42 of a building, such as a house 40, out of recesses 44 provided on this wall as seen in Figure 3b, 3c, 4a and 4b. As best seen in Figure 3c, each panel 10 is operated by a driving unit 46 accommodated behind the wall 42.
- the driving unit 46 comprises a mobile shaft 48.

- a drive belt 322 may be used to drive the panel 10 into rotation (see arrow F in Figures 13b and 13c) for an optimized working position according to the position of the sun and to tilt it from a working position to a full face-down position ( Figure 13c).
- Multiple panels can be stacked into housing 310.
- the panel 10 is movable in translation in an out from a fixed housing 310, or the housing 310 is movable in translation in relation to the panel 10 to be able to cover it (see arrow G), the panel then being suspended on the surface of the roof with a pivoting system 320 as described above for example.

- the panels 10 are secured to a awning 700, which can be stored against a wall in a folded position as shown in Figure 17a and unfolded into a overhanging position as shown in Figure 17b.
- a motorized unit and a belt allow movement of the arm 720 along rails 730 for example (see arrow N).
- the vertical position of the arm 710 in turn controls the inclination ⁇ of the awning, i.e. of the panel 10.
- flexible panels 10 are used, since they are supported by the awning 700 which is intended to be flexible into its folded position.
- the panels 10 may be used unsupported by an awing, on their own.
- actuation of the withdrawal/unfolding of the door panel can either be done manually or automatically.
- An on/off switch button for example, may be provided for access to people in the house, for example, by which they can decide whether to put the panels of the house in the operating or in the protected position, according to the weather conditions for example.
- the withdrawal/unfolding of the solar panels of the house may be monitored by a remote, or through a network, according to weather forecasts and alerts on the web or on cell phones for example, so that in case hail is expected, for example, all solar panels are retracted into a sheltered position.
