Abstract
A solar cube increases efficiency by about 4.75 times in one unit of space than the standard flat solar panel. The solar cube is made of five solar panels in an open-face cube configuration that are connected in series to a battery, and a concave lens refracts light to allow all five solar panels to generate power.
Claims10
A solar cube device comprising:
- five solar panels;
- a frame configured to hold said five solar panels into a box shape with one open end;
- a lens configured to refract solar radiation onto the interior surface of said five solar panels, wherein said lens is located in said open end of said box shape;
- electrically conductive wire;
- and
- an electrical storage battery, wherein said battery is electrically interconnected to said five solar panels through said electrically conductive wire;
- and
- wherein said solar cube device is configured to convert solar radiation refracted from said lens into about 4 times more electrical energy per square unit of space compared to a flat solar panel.
