This system provides electricity to devices using a solar panel. It includes a special capacitor to store extra solar energy, and a power converter that directs power from the panel to the devices, or from the capacitor if the panel isn't enough. It also charges the capacitor when there's more solar power than needed, all while keeping the power steady for the devices. The claims specifically describe a version using a solar panel and a capacitor for storage.
Why it matters: Since 2011, advancements in capacitor technology have made them more viable for energy storage and buffering, while solar panel efficiency and cost-effectiveness have also improved. This makes the specific solar-capacitor combination more practical now.
