Retractable Photovoltaic System
Description
Hello Everybody, This Is My Prototype Of A <B><Font Color="Orange">Retractable Photovoltaic System</Font></B>. <H5>Why I Did It</H5> 2015 Has Been Proclamed By Unesco "International Year Of Light". It Is <I>" A Global Initiative Adopted By The United Nations To Raise Awareness Of How Optical Technologies Promote Sustainable Development And Provide Solutions To Worldwide Challenges In Energy, Education, Agriculture, Communications And Health.

My Idea Was To Close The "Petals" When There Is Bad Weather (Such As Rain, Snow, Hail...), In Order To Avoid Damages To The Solar Panels, And Let Them Opened When The Sun Is Shining. <Ul> <Li><B>What'S The Purpose</B></Li> </Ul> I'Ve Invented This "Solar Flower" To Be Placed In Every Kind Of Place You Like (Desert, Hills, <U>Mountains</U>...). If We Think Of All Those Solar Parks Located In A Place Where Snow Fallings Are Not Rare, We Can Notice That They Lose A Lot Of Energy Because Of The Whole Layer Of Snow, Previously Felt On The Surface. An Issue Brought By This Problem Is The Need Of A Daily Routine Maintenance, To Make Them Working Again (Often Very Expensive). So, I'Ve Focused My Mind Toward Only One Thing: <B>Increase Efficiency</B> And <B>Reduce Maintenance Costs</B> <Img Src="Http://I66.Tinypic.Com/T0Joug.Jpg" > <Img Src="Http://I63.Tinypic.Com/157K5Zk.Jpg"> <A Href="Https://Youtu.Be/Bquwjciihlw"> Demostration Video </A>
