Abstract
A removable magnetically attached solar collector sheet system comprises a thin film, organic and printable photovoltaic sheet attached to a flexible magnetic sheet. The system removably attaches to any metal surface magnetically, conforms to that surface, and connects into the power supply of that object, such as homes, vehicles, commercial buildings, light poles, and other industrial applications.
Claims5
A magnetically attached solar collector system comprising:
- a magnetically attached solar collector sheet comprising planar flexible rubberized magnetically attractive material which is rolled into a roll for storage and shipping and rolled out onto a metal surface to attach the magnetic sheet to the metal surface by magnetic attraction, the magnetic sheet conforming to the shape of the metal surface;
- a thin film, organic and printable photovoltaic sheet comprising a thin flexible plastic sheet imprinted with a with light sensitive electricity generating substance on at least one surface of the plastic sheet, the thin film, organic and printable photovoltaic sheet adhered over the magnetic sheet to form a magnetically attached solar collector sheet, so that the magnetically attached solar collector sheet is rolled up with the magnetic sheet exposed on the outside of the roll and the magnetically attached solar collector sheet is unrolled onto a metal surface with the magnetic side contacting the metal surface and the thin film, organic and printable photovoltaic sheet exposed to sunlight for use as an instantly installed removable solar collector for collecting electricity from the sun;
- an electrical system attached to the imprinted electricity generating substance to draw electricity therefrom as the magnetically attached solar sheet is exposed to sunlight for use and storage of the electricity in the electrical system.
