MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521117763 A) filed by Rabindranath Tagore University, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, on Nov. 26, 2025, for 'wind-actuated safety lever mechanism for automatic lowering of solar panels.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Tejkaran Narolia; Dr. T. Ravi Kiran; and Dr. Deepak Paliwal.
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: "The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for wind-induced automatic protection of a solar panel (121). The apparatus comprises a frame, a lever pivotally mounted on the frame (107) about a fulcrum, a set of wind-responsive adjustable blades (101) operatively connected to the lever (103). The blades (101) being configured to automatically align with a direction of incoming wind. The lifting mechanism being coupled to the lever (103) via a slotted pin linkage (111). Upon wind blowing from a first direction, the adjustable blades (101) align with the wind and generate a wind thrust that causes the lever (103) to pivot in a first rotational direction about its fulcrum, and moving an opposite end of the lever (103) in a second direction. The movement of the lever (103) actuates the slotted pin linkage (111), translating the mechanical motion into a vertical lowering action of the lifting mechanism."
