Inventor(s) include Dr. Arka Ghosh; Dr. Ankush Khansole; Dr. Amlan Das; Nityananda Sahoo; Dr. Bappa Das; Parth Patel; Srichandan Rajballav; Pankaj Kumar; and Bansod Sneha Bharat.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Passive Graphene-Boron Nitride Rooftop Panel with PCM Thermal Clutch and CNT Telemetry This invention describes an autonomous passive rooftop panel for non-penetrative installation above metal and cement-asbestos sheet roofs in hot, humid and storm-prone regions. A graphene-boron nitride radiative skin laterally spreads and emits solar heat, while an underlying dual-band phase change core and temperature-triggered thermal clutch selectively store, block or dump heat to limit peak roof temperatures and reduce indoor heat stress. Hygro-responsive elements open micro-ventilation paths and enhance sky exposure under high humidity, maintaining cooling performance during monsoon conditions. On the underside, a graded carbon nanotube network with sacrificial fusible links and surge-limiting elements diverts lightning-related currents into the roof sheet and simultaneously operates as an ultra-high-frequency backscatter resonator. A handheld reader interrogates resonance shifts to infer hotspot, strike and degradation states, providing power-free condition telemetry for lightweight sheet-roofed buildings."
