L2M NSERC - Hollow cylindrical Solar Panel designed to fit around Electrical Transmission Wires (and Associated Variations)

我们提出了一种新型的太阳能电池板设计，一个中空圆柱体，圆柱体的外表面有光伏材料。这种设计的目的是让面板很容易地滑过传输线。这将使含有光伏材料的圆柱形电池板的外表面暴露在阳光下，它们可以产生额外的电能。此外，众所周知，第三代太阳能电池在磁场存在的情况下产生更多电能，而不会改变电池中使用的材料。因此，这里的想法是利用传输线周围产生的磁场(基本上是浪费能源)来创造更高效的太阳能电池板。在这样做的同时，我们也在将废能转化为有用的能源，使(电线+太阳能电池板)系统更有效率。最后，与有助于应对气候变化的大型太阳能项目相关的问题是与土地征用(安装太阳能电池板)相关的成本、安装太阳能电池板并将其连接到电网的熟练劳动力，以及(高技能劳动力)安装每个电池板所需的时间。这里的土地已经归输电管理局所有(增加了来自太阳能的收入来源)，太阳能电池板安装简单，配备了必要的电路，将每个电池板安装在电线上只需将圆柱体滑动到电线上即可。

We propose a new type of solar 'panel' design, a hollow cylinder with the photovoltaic material on the cylinder's outer surface. This design aims to easily 'slip' the panel over transmission wires. This would expose to sunlight the outer surface of the cylindrical panel containing the photovoltaic material, and they can produce additional electrical power.In addition, third generation solar cells are known to produce more electrical power in the presence of magnetic fields without changing the materials used in the cell. The idea here therefore is to use the magnetic fields generated around transmission wires (essentially waste energy) to create a more efficient solar panel. In doing so, we are also converting waste energy into useful energy, making the (wire + solar panel) system more efficient. Lastly, the problems associated with large solar projects that can help in addressing climate change are costs related to land acquisition (for installing solar panels), skilled labour that can install and connect the panels to the grid, and the time taken (of the highly skilled labour) to install each panel. Here the land is already owned by the power transmission authority (added source of income from solar power), the solar panels are simple to install, are self-contained with the necessary circuitry, and installing each panel on a wire is a simple task of slipping the cylinder onto the wire.
