Title: John Deramos and Solar Panel Reorientation for Moving Vehicles.

Introduction

John Deramos is an inventor associated with Garden City, Michigan. His patent work addresses how solar panels on moving vehicles can be repositioned to make better use of available sunlight while accounting for the energy required to adjust the array.

Latest Patents

Deramos is named on 1 patent: “Systems and Methods for Reorienting Solar Panel Array on In-Motion Vehicles Using Energy Comparisons.” The invention describes a reconfigurable solar panel array, a bending mechanism, and a computing device with a processor and memory. While a vehicle is moving, the system can assess sunlight levels, divide a navigation route into trip segments, and calculate an optimal panel position for each segment. It compares the current position with the optimal position and estimates whether the energy expected from repositioning exceeds the energy needed to make the adjustment. When the conditions support a change, the system adjusts the array.
