MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411094520 A) filed by Chandigarh Group Of Colleges on November 29, 2024, for Solar Energy Harvesting System With Fixed Inclination Bifacial Solar Panel Strips.
Inventors include Dr. Pradeep Gaur; Saloni Kashyap; and Suryavanshi Katoch.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to solar energy harvesting system that improves energy conversion efficiency by optimizing the capture of solar radiation. The system comprises primary solar panel configured to absorb incident solar radiation and convert it into electrical energy, and a plurality of bifacial solar panel strips disposed on primary panel in fixed slanted orientation. The bifacial strips feature photovoltaic cells on both front and rear surfaces, enabling them to absorb both direct and reflected sunlight. Gaps between strips allow a portion of incident light to pass through, strike the primary panel’s surface, and be reflected back toward rear surfaces of the bifacial strips, thereby enhancing energy absorption. The system also includes a reflective surface on primary panel to direct additional solar radiation to the rear of the bifacial strips, and rigid support structure to maintain the fixed orientation. This configuration increases the overall efficiency of solar energy harvesting. FIG. 1
