As advanced and efficient as our solar panels and becoming,theyr’e still pretty much useless
when rain clous arrive overhead.We have innovated this device that can harvests energy from both
sunlight and raindrops that we call the ‘Weather Panel’.
A weather Panel that harvests kinetic energy from water without destroying the output of the
solar cells during sunny times.The key part of the system is a triboelectricnanogenerator(TENGs).Its a
device which creates electric charge from the friction of 2 materials rubbing together.
The idea of using TENGs like this isn’t completely new, the challenge has been to develop that
wasn’t too bulky or complex. To do that we use 2 polymer layers to form
.
Methodology
In making a Weather Panel,We need to prepare the materials that we need.In creating a
frame whose area is 25 squared cm. Assembling the solar cells( 15 solar cells).Next, create holes
for the weather panels connection. Then, attach the solar cells down using wires. Then, solder
the wires for a better connection. Next, we connect the wirings of the solar panel connection
up to the solar side of the charge controller.Then, we hook the battery to the inverter. The next
step we will attach the panel to the polymer layers. Next, add even pressure on the glass.
