Can you imagine that one solar panel that instead of being static, chases the sunlight like a sunflower? This is what this incredible new invention is all about and which will be the solution to the problems of lack of photovoltaic energy in the middle of nowhere.
The British company Iris Solar is working on the creation of this impressive device, which could be very useful, for example, in camping, because there are places where it is much more complicated to take external batteries with you because they do not work very well, or also portable solar panels, which many use In these cases they generate very little energy and are not entirely usable in these cases. This new wearable solar tracker could be the great solution.
The world’s first wearable solar tracker
This new device from the Iris Solar brand is called Iris T1, it is a device that can do that align your panels perpendicular to the sun to always capture the sun’s rays and thus capture much more photovoltaic energy and more efficiently. This technology is known as dual-axial tracking technology. Furthermore, they indicate that these devices could be between 20% and 40% more efficient compared to fixed panels.
Another advantage is the size as this tracker would not be very big and also a compact style, so ideal for transport in, for example, a camp or in remote areas where no other types of energy can be obtained.
These panels, which will be launched on the market in 2025, will be monocrystalline and in addition «“all in one”making it much more practical and comfortable to transport and also easy to assemble and disassemble. In addition, your system has a built-in battery 270 Wh and has three USB outputs, two Type C and one Type A.
How this spectacular invention works would solve many problems
The device has a double motor with two shafts, which makes the panels form a circle and face the sun, so that they always receive the most sun rays. Here’s how with this A 24W panel can capture twice as much energy as if the panel were fixed, because it is always on the right side to capture the sun’s rays.
This device’s battery, which is 270 Wh, can be kept charged via the mains before you leave the device. The great thing about this is that you can save the solar energy for when it runs out and save more time. About any of these devices It would need 2-3 days in the sun to fully charge, allowing devices such as mobile phones or tablets to be charged many times at the same time.
It is also very convenient to use, as mentioned above, it has two USB-C ports and also one USB-A. But they also have that Wi-Fi connection and an application used to configure it on Android or iOS.
This invention is a great initiative that joins other great innovations (like this one, the first infinite solar panel made with a rare material, or like this transparent solar panel, a special glass that can be installed in the windows of houses). These types of creations are not only aimed at taking care of the environment with renewable energy, but also at making these types of creations technologies are more practical and comfortable, to somehow solve the lives of people who choose to care for nature while generating energy in a sustainable way.
