FIXED-GEOMETRY AND/OR VARIABLE GEOMETRY SURFACES FOR CAPTURING SOLAR ENERGY BY MEANS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC

Summary

Fixed-geometry and/or variable-geometry surface comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells and/or films and/or panels for conversion of the solar energy captured into electrical energy. Said cells are applied directly or indirectly on the surfaces of a watercraft. In the solution with variable geometry, the surface for capturing solar energy is constituted substantially by a plurality of slats hinged to one another or else by fabrics made so as to enable increase or reduction of the sail surf..

Technology Benefits

The business potential of the patent is the possibility of its application to all boats, from the smallest (sailboats) to larger ones (cargo ships). The patent allows to apply FIXED-GEOMETRY AND/OR VARIABLE GEOMETRY SURFACES that allow to the watercraft to capture solar energy and to convert it into electricity. In ships with sails or with FIXED-GEOMETRY AND/OR VARIABLE GEOMETRY SURFACES even allows to modulate the aerodynamic lift on the same sailing, keeping constant the energy captured.
