The Prior Art

Nowadays, energy is one of the mostly discussed topics. Reduction of energy sources and increase of energy consumption increases the tendency towards sustainable and ecological energy sources and makes these sources a popular model. In almost every sector, researches are made about sustainable energy sources and integration of this energy into daily life is one of the most trending topics nowadays.

Construction and automotive sectors are the fields where energy is mostly consumed. Use of sustainable energy is wanted to be generalized in especially these sectors. Pursuit of new energy sources focuses the researches on the Sun. Sustainable thermal and electrical energy that can be obtained from the Sun, and also absence of source consumption problem, makes this energy source more preferable. Various applications are made in this field. Using solar energy becomes an unavoidable necessity in our apartments, work spaces, streets, or in other words, in every square meter of our living spaces. It is aimed to bring various benefits for the next generation with this awareness.

In our fast-paced era, significant improvements are also needed in the field of transportation. This necessity is trying to be met by means of devices found in almost all houses. However, on the other hand, the resources of the fuels used in vehicles are getting depleted, and the hazardous wastes caused by fuels of these vehicles pollute the nature. This leads people to new quests and sustainable energy sources are evaluated as a solution. Solar powered vehicles are one of the most significant results of these studies. Energy can be obtained for vehicles from solar energy and no harmful emission is made. At this stage, studies providing quick and continuous energy for vehicles are of great importance. In the solar powered vehicles used in the prior art, adequate surface area is not found for placing sufficient solar panels. This leads to insufficient efficiency and requires long time periods of obtaining the required energy.

In the known status of the art, since the charging stations of the solar powered vehicles are fixed, charging vehicles become a problem when it is hard to reach these stations. In the known status of the art, it is aimed to increase the range of solar powered vehicles by means of a trailer car containing additional batteries or solar panels. Since the vehicle has to tow the trailer all along the road, this mass causes additional energy cost.

In the known status of the art, a protection system protecting the solar powered vehicles from external impacts is not found. This causes vehicles that contain sensitive mechanisms such as electrical circuits to malfunction and get damaged frequently.

In the known status of the art, the energy obtained with the help of solar panels is not sufficient to allow movement of the vehicle, and can only be used in operation of illuminating devices.

In the known status of the art, the vehicles are required to obtain the energy they need from their own movements. This requires movement of vehicles for storing energy and does not provide ease of use.

In the known status of the art, the energy generated by the vehicle can only be used for the vehicle. The generated energy cannot be used for other needs.

As a result of the literature research, various embodiments about said solar powered vehicles are encountered. One of these is the utility model with Application No. 201 1 /05673, entitled "An illuminating device with solar panel for vehicles". In the abstract of the invention, it is disclosed that, "The present invention relates to a device providing illumination by means of solar energy designed to operate illumination systems such as headlights, stop lights, signals, position lamps, signplate lamps etc. found in motorized and non-motorized vehicles". In said application, the energy obtained from the Sun is not sufficient to move the vehicle, but only used for operating the illuminating devices. Since, in this situation, another energy source is required for moving the vehicle, this application can be shown as an example for the above given disadvantages.

Another example about said embodiment is the patent application No. 2009/02719, entitled: "An electric car". In the abstract of this invention, it is disclosed that "The present invention relates to an electric car that generates its own electricity by moving without the need for gasoline, diesel oil etc. fuel additives and stores the excessive amount of the electricity that is generated and allows its movement in batteries found therein, and allows use of the electricity stored in said batteries by using an external apparatus". In said application, the vehicle is required to move to generate its own energy. Accordingly, it can generate the extra energy to be stored, only while it is moving. Since this causes difficulty in use, this application can be given as an example for the above given disadvantages.

As a result, improvement is to be made in parallel with the developing technology in solar powered vehicles, and therefore novel embodiments that would eliminate the above said drawbacks and bring solutions to the problems of the prior art systems are needed.

A modular garage (50) meeting the charging need of electric vehicles (40), having a fixed structure or can be moved together with vehicles by being attached to vehicle (40) tow hooks, and it is characterized in that; it comprises: a main body (31 ) having a framework structure to form a closed volume, and In addition, it comprises a solar panel system (10) configured on said main body (31 ) framework structure, and a cabin embodiment (30) formed of a solar panel system (10) configured on said main body (31 ) framework structure.

Structure and mounting principle

Said modular garage (50) comprises fixed solar panels (1 1 ) and 90-degree rotatable solar panels (12) positioned on the cabin embodiment (30) and comprising electronic circuit components (20), a handle (32), a towing component (33), a foldable support component (34), wheels (35), and a coating material (36).

The solar panel system (10) is positioned on the main body (31 ) that shapes the volume of the cabin embodiment (30). Fixed solar panels (1 1 ) are positioned on the top part of the cabin embodiment (30) so that they would receive maximum amount of solar light. The 90- degree rotatable solar panels (12) are positioned on the side surfaces of the cabin embodiment (30). Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the main body (31 ) forming the cabin embodiment (30) according to the invention and will help better understanding of the structure. Below the solar panel system (10), electronic circuits (20) enabling transmission of the obtained solar energy are found. Additional batteries can be placed within the cabin embodiment (30) in order to allow usage of the obtained energy for other purposes, if desired.

The cabin embodiment (30) can also be moved manually, since the main body (31 ) it comprises is light. For this purpose, a handle (32) is positioned on the main body (31 ) to allow its manual movement. For towing the cabin embodiment (30) by a vehicle (40), also a towing component (33) is found on the main body (31 ). The foldable support component (34) fixed to the main body (31 ) ensures that the cabin embodiment (30) stays in balance when parked. Also, by means of the motion component (35) mounted on the main body (31 ), movement of the cabin embodiment (30) is ensured easily. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the modular garage (50) according to the invention, enabling energy generation and storage while the vehicle is in park (40), which will be helpful in better understanding of the structure.

Operating principle The modular garage (50) stands out in providing ease of use. This characteristics arises from the modular garage (50) being used as a portable structure and as a garage. For this purpose, the modular garage (50) is designed with a low mass. The lightness of the garage comes from the main body (31 ) forming the framework of the cabin embodiment (30). Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the main body (31 ) forming the cabin embodiment (30) according to the invention and will help better understanding of the structure.

A coating material (36) is mounted on the main body (31 ) such that it would form a closed volume to prevent the vehicle (40) from external impacts. The lightness of these materials makes the cabin embodiment (30) lighter and prevents consumption of extra energy during transportation of the cabin embodiment (30). Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the modular garage (50), which will be helpful in better understanding of the structure.

Fixed solar panels (1 1 ) are positioned on the top part of the cabin embodiment (30) so that they would receive maximum amount of solar light. On the side surfaces, 90-degree rotatable solar panels (12) are positioned and these panels are opened to receive maximum amount of solar light, when desired. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the modular garage (50) according to the invention, enabling energy generation and storage while the vehicle (40) is parked in, which will be helpful in better understanding of the structure. With the enlargement of the surface area that is exposed to solar light, more energy can be generated in shorter time and thus efficiency is increased. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the modular garage (50) generating solar energy, which will be helpful in better understanding of the structure.

The modular garage (50) generating solar energy is fixed to the vehicle (40) via the towing component (33) and can be transported to different locations. Since energy can also be generated while the vehicle (40) is moving, the generated energy can also be used for increasing the range. The energy to be used for other purposes can be stored with an additional battery to be placed within the cabin embodiment (30). When the modular garage (50) generating solar energy is parked, it can stay in balance by means of foldable support components (34). When the modular garage (50) is wanted to be moved, the foldable support components (34) are folded and made ready for motion.

The modular garage (50) generating solar energy can also generate energy while it is parked. This energy is stored to be used later. At the same time, at this position, the vehicle (40) is parked in the modular garage (50) and the vehicle (40) is protected from external impacts. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the modular garage (50) generating solar energy according to the invention, enabling energy generation and storage while the vehicle (40) is parked in, which will be helpful in better understanding of the structure.

Figure 4 is a representative view showing the solar power modular garage (50) while being towed by a vehicle (40). Towing of the garage requires extra power and energy for an electric-driven car. However, the consumed energy will easily be generated, since the modular garage (50) comprises solar panels and generates electrical energy.

Since the cabin embodiment (30) is light, it can be moved manually by means of the handle (32) positioned on the main body (31 ), and in this way, the vehicle (40) can easily be parked in the modular garage (50) generating solar energy. The motion components (35) enabling movement of the modular garage (50) also facilitate the manual parking operation.
