ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to solar panels.
2. Description of Prior Art
Solar panels are well-known-for capturing solar energy and converting the energy into electric power. Such panels may be provided in windows that are otherwise used in a generally normal fashion in sides of buildings. At present, the electrical connections for leading power away from the buildings are cumbersome and require skilled labor and time to formulate or make-good so that the solar power can be made use of inside the building.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to overcome or at least reduce this problem.
According to the invention there is provided a solar panel arrangement in a window pane comprising a number of solar cells and an electrical circuit permanently connected electrically to the solar cells that converts direct current generated by solar energy in the cells into oscillations, and a ferrite core mounted to the window pane to which the oscillations are applied in use.
The circuit preferably includes an adjustable controller mounted to the pane for changing the oscillations and arranged to be remotely adjustable from externally of the pane. The controller may be a photo-transistor.
The solar panel arrangement may include an electrical external circuit for conveying power from the window pane includes a second ferrite core arranged to be mounted in close proximity with the said ferrite core. The external electrical circuit may comprise a wound coil arranged to fit over the said ferrite core.
