Abstract

A Solar Panel Assembly comprising a charge pump configured to boost a solar cell voltage to an intermediate voltage, a transformer configured to transform an alternating current voltage to the intermediate voltage, a battery configured to take a charge at the intermediate voltage from the charge pump and the transformer simultaneously, and a transparent housing for the charge pump, the transformer and the battery.

Claims (20)

1 . A Solar Panel Assembly comprising:

a charge pump configured to boost a solar cell voltage to an intermediate voltage;

a transformer configured to transform an alternating current voltage to the intermediate voltage;

a battery configured to take a charge at the intermediate voltage from the charge pump and the transformer simultaneously; and

a transparent housing for the charge pump, the transformer and the battery.

2 . The Solar Panel Assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of AC charging ports in electrical communication with the transformer.

3 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate voltage is a universal serial bus (USB) voltage.

4 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of USB charging ports in electrical communication with the battery.

5 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a stake configured to support the transparent housing and stick in an earthen surface.

6 . The solar panel assembly of claim 5 , wherein the stake provides an electrical ground source for the intermediate voltage.

7 . The solar panel assembly of claim 5 , further comprising a hinge on the stake and the transparent housing configured to tilt a relation thereof.

8 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a remote control configured to monitor and control the solar panel assembly.

9 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the transparent housing comprises a plexiglass construction.

10 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the transparent housing comprises a glass construction.

11 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a square array of solar cells housed within the transparent housing.

12 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a concatenation of square arrays of solar cells housed within the transparent housing.

13 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of solar cells connected in series across the charge pump.

14 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of solar cells connected in series across a series of capacitors in the charge pump.

15 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel across the charge pump.

16 . The solar panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel across a series of capacitors in the charge pump.
