Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for continuous indoor/outdoor illumination of directly from Solar Panel using native DC current to drive LED Lights (Luminaire), an Auto Grid Control and PV Panel Switcher array of two Relay Switches wherein one of the Relay Switches is co-located with the Solar Panels for toggling on/off solar input in case of periodic or intermittent low solar insulation below an acceptable adjustable threshold, which in turn triggers the 2nd Relay Switch co-located with the set of Luminaire to seamlessly switch over to the grid or solar, thus catering for inadequacy or erratic solar insolation.
Claims9
A device for continuous illumination for complete indoor/outdoor lighting directly from Solar Panel consisting of DC current driven LED Lights, a set of Luminaire, a Grid with Auto Control and two 300 milliamp 12V Relay Switches;
- wherein one of the Relay Switches is co-located with the Solar Panels for switching off solar input in case of lower solar insulation below an acceptable adjustable threshold resulting in triggering the 2nd Relay Switch co-located with the set of Luminaire to seamlessly switch over to the grid, thus catering for inadequacy in erratic solar insulation.
A process for continuous illumination consisting of a Photovoltaic Sensor & Control and a coil, wherein:
- the sensor panel provides power to the coil of the relay in the solar sensor;
- the excess current provided by the sensor panel is drained by resistors parallel to the coil resulting in the presence of only a minimal amount of current therein;
- the relay switches off when the solar irradiation reduces beyond a determinable threshold.
