Biomimeced Solar Tree with 3-D Etched Panels

Author: Veeranki Lakshmi Naga Deepika Co-Author: Abstract:


This paper deals with the biomimetic inspired design of solar panel which takes it roots from the nature. Fibonacci numbers are natures numbering system, they appear everywhere in nature from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flowers. This arrangement in the plants help them to perform photosynthesis more effectively. Our team has observed the process in the nature and mimicked the design. The leaves on this plant are staggered in a spiral pattern to permit optimal exposure to sunlight. If we apply the Golden Ratio to a circle we can see how it is that this plant exhibits Fibonacci qualities. Our design consists of a tree shaped structure and solar panels placed at their Fibonacci positions for optimal efficiency. Our design also deals with a hybrid integration of wind power unlike the traditional turbines which cut the winds, which have many disadvantages citing to operational, maintenance and environmental issues. It uses the natural cantilever principle to generate energy.
