Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Srinivasan; S. Ezhil Nilavan; and S. Sanjay Nilavan.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "AI-Based Self-Optimizing Solar Panel Orientation System for Maximum Energy Harvesting The proposed invention, "AI-Based Self-Optimizing Solar Panel Orientation System for Maximum Energy Harvesting," presents an intelligent and adaptive solution to enhance solar energy generation efficiency. Traditional solar panel systems are either fixed or rely on basic tracking mechanisms that do not fully utilize real-time environmental data. This invention integrates artificial intelligence, sensor networks, and predictive analytics to dynamically adjust the orientation of solar panels for optimal sunlight exposure throughout the day and across seasons. The system employs a combination of light intensity sensors, weather monitoring units, and machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze solar irradiance, cloud cover, temperature, and geographical parameters. Based on this data, the AI model predicts the most efficient tilt and azimuth angles, ensuring maximum energy capture. Additionally, the system incorporates feedback mechanisms to learn from historical performance data, enabling continuous self-optimization. The invention also supports remote monitoring and control through IoT connectivity, making it suitable for both residential and large-scale solar installations. By reducing energy losses due to suboptimal panel positioning, the system significantly improves overall power output and return on investment."
