solar power
Many years ago a friend of mine came up with a similar new way of arranging solar panels to produce more power. He connected each solar cell individually to a rechargeable single rechargeable battery cell matching the voltage output of the solar cell, incorporating diode to prevent reverse voltage discharging into the cell during darkness or cloud cover. Each of these batteries was connected as solar cells would have been into a series circuit via a blocking reverse current diode to output the power into the load. The orientation of the panels was standard 180 degrees as this was in uk. The system was checked by a professor of electrical engineering from a uk university in secrecy as a full world patent was to be applied for should the system have greater efficiency than those in use at the time. the calculations under laboratory conditions proved that it was not, so project dropped. So now 25-30 years later with improved cell technology and battery types it might again prove to be feasible. So big companies out there the race is on to check it out, no patent problem as more than 16/25 years ago. Remember WHERE you read this and WHO pointed you in the right direction, but did not invent the idea. Hope the person who did is reading this. I will be able to prove you are/not if you say you are with more information that I have. I want the right person to get credit for the idea which is more important than the money in these cases if it works.
