Latest Patent Applications
Gaël Nardin has filed several notable patent applications, including:
1. **Optomechanical system for light regulation and electricity production** - This invention concerns an optomechanical system for light regulation and electricity production, comprising a semi-transparent photovoltaic module with a plurality of bifacial photovoltaic cells arranged in rows and columns, with gaps between the rows and/or columns, through which sunlight may be transmitted. It includes at least one optical arrangement located in an actuation plane behind the semi-transparent photovoltaic module, comprising at least one reflective optical element for redirecting light towards the back side of the photovoltaic module. A control system is configured to operate the optical arrangement to adjust a projected area of the reflective optical element on the actuation plane.
2. **Optomechanical Systems And Methods To Regulate Light Transmission And Electricity Production** - This invention relates to an optomechanical system to regulate light transmission and electricity production. It comprises an optical arrangement with a plurality of optical layers configured to focus direct sunlight, and a light collection arrangement with a plurality of light collection layers comprising multiple distant elongate photovoltaic cells arranged in rows and substantially spaced by gaps. Each optical layer is laminated on top of a corresponding light collection layer, forming a translucent solar module. A rotating axis to which an arrangement of at least one of the translucent solar modules is attached, along with a tracking mechanism, adjusts light transmission and/or electricity production by rotating the axis to orient the arrangement towards or away from the incident sunlight.
Conclusion
