Description:
SMART SOLAR SYSTEM

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention is related to a device with a smart solar system providing efficient electricity generation by solar tracking in three-dimension by means of its mobile solar panels and mechanism.

PRIOR ART

Electricity generation with solar energy is carried out by mounting solar panels on the roofs of buildings or on a flat fixed base.

The existing solar energy systems are systems mounted on the roofs of buildings or on a fixed base. These systems have installation and operational disadvantages. As an installation disadvantage; due to the fact that every building does not have a suitable roof angle, it does not work efficiently and is not efficient in every building.

The efficiency of stationary solar panels varies according to the position of the sun. It is known that the sunlight reaching the panels vertically is the situation where the panels generate electricity in the most efficient way. However, changing the position of the sun and the angle of light reduces electricity generation. In addition, contamination of the surface of fixed solar panels reduces light transmission and reduces electricity generation. Therefore, the surfaces of the solar panels are cleaned by the operator at regular intervals.

Moving the installed panel system from one location to another, removing it from the existing structure and moving it to another location are laborious and costly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device with a smart solar system in order to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field. Said invention eliminates the problems caused by standard roof systems because it is portable and solar tracking (Solar Tracking).

The high level of electricity generation reduces the depreciation time. One of the aims of the invention is to allow the needy to take it wherever they want, by means of its portability. With the internal web and mobile remote monitoring system specially developed for the smart solar system, users can instantly see all the electrical and mechanical values of the device over the Ethernet/Internet connection where the device is located and can turn the device on and off remotely.

One of the aims of the invention is to enable the user to use solar energy independently from the position of the solar system structure and the angle of the roof, with the solar tracking feature of the device and its modular plug-and-play structure.

In the off-grid applications of the smart solar system, in cases of network power outages, fluctuations, etc. it ensures that the user can use a stable energy and not be affected by distortions in the network. This feature is designed to provide electrical energy through energy storage (battery) in off-grid applications. Since electricity is supplied to the user as the stored electricity, power interruptions/fluctuations occurring in the network do not affect the user and possible damage is prevented.

By means of the water jet system, the blades were cleaned automatically, and this cleaning brought maintenance costs in standard solar panels.

Another object of the invention is to provide automatic blade cleaning and to reduce the cleaning cost with this invention.

The invention is applicable to industry and agriculture. It can also benefit the industry with its being producible in the industry and its contribution. For agriculture, providing energy in nonelectric fields, operating automatic irrigation pumps with its own automation system, automatic spraying, etc. it can meet the needs of electricity and automation. In addition, by means of the humidity sensor with modbus communication, the air humidity in the outdoor area where the device is installed is instantly measured and evaluated by the automation system. This data is used as data input in rain and hail precipitation probability algorithms, in automation of spraying in agricultural applications, and in algorithms to protect by shutting down the product itself in case of hail rain.

In addition, the temperature and humidity sensor contained in the body of the device measures the environment data of the batteries and other devices inside the body of the device, so that the fans in the body are automatically operated. Thus, it is ensured that the electrical and electronic equipment inside the device is not damaged by temperature and humidity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, the innovation subject to the invention is explained only with examples that do not have any limiting effect for better understanding of the subject. The said invention is about a device with a smart solar system that provides the highest level of electricity generation by tracking three-dimensional solar by means of its mobile solar panels and mechanism.

The general information of automatic solar tracking is completed by entering the north angle of the place where the body of the device is placed, the astronomical clock and position information into the controller ‘PLC’ used in the system. PLC automatically calculates the position of the sun, sunrise and sunset times from where it is installed. At sunrise, the device runs the motors and, by means of the geared gears, respectively, it lifts its blades, spreads its blades and turns its blades into the sun.

With the movement of the sun, it begins to track vertically and horizontally with all his blades spread. With the sunset, the device starts its motors, respectively, closes its blades, brings its horizontal position to the starting position and lowers its blades so that it becomes closed. The brushes under the blades clean each other's surfaces as the blades open and close. In addition, the water jet in the system is operated automatically once a week to help clean the blades by spraying water. Inside the body of the device, there are electrical and automation equipment/devices, batteries and inverter. Energy generated from solar cell (solar panel) blades is stored in batteries (battery) in off-grid applications. In on-grid applications, it is printed on the system or used by the customer.

There are body at the bottom of the system, blades on the upper side and gear systems and mechanisms to move the blades. Visually resembling a daisy, the device qualifies as a smart solar system. As the opening method of the blades; the long shaft to which the blades are connected rotates by means of the gear motor and the top blade connected to the shaft is rotated. The return pin (channel pin) on the top blade moves in the channel in the hard- strength castermid substance to which the lower blade is connected and draws the lower blade. By drawing a lower blade in the same way, all blades are opened in this way. The blade opening method is realized by the upper blade drawing a lower blade. The upper mechanism that rotates the blades completely is of 2 parts, the upper swing that lifts and moves the blades vertically and the lower plate that rotates the upper part to which the blades are connected completely horizontally. The lower plate is connected to the body by a strong shaft. And it is rotated by the motorized reducer inside the body. The invention realizes the highest level of electricity generation by tracking the three- dimensional solar by means of its mobile solar panels and mechanism. By means of this feature, it can generate 45% more electricity than stationary solar panels. In addition, by means of its portability, it offers facilities such as installation in a short time (1 hour) and ready for practical replacement (15 minutes) in case of installation and installation location changes. With the internal web and mobile remote monitoring system specially developed for the smart solar system, users can instantly see all the electrical and mechanical values of the device over the Ethernet/Intemet connection where the device is located and can turn the device on and off remotely. This situation is important for the security of the panels. In case of storms and natural disasters, the wind sensor connected to the device detects that the wind speed is high and transmits it to the automation system, so the device takes itself into a protection position. There is a water jet at the tip of the blade shaft to prevent loss of efficiency due to dusting and to clean the blades (Figure 21). The water jet is automatically operated once a week through automation and software while the device is turned on and off, and automatic cleaning of the blades is provided. Thus, the light transmittance in the blades does not decrease and panel production efficiency is kept at the maximum level. Efficient electricity is produced by 2-dimensional solar tracking with 3 motorized reducers that provide vertical and horizontal movements and open the blades. By means of the brushes under the blades, the blades open and close while cleaning each other with a water jet. It is mobile and the product can be transported.
