Systems and methods for solar energy utilization

This invention describes a system of multiple panels, like Venetian blinds, that are aligned and can all rotate together around parallel axes. The system is designed to manage solar energy by rotating these panels, which can be either thermally conductive to control heat or photovoltaic to generate electricity and store it.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in solar panel efficiency, battery storage, and low-cost microcontrollers. These improvements make the electrical generation and coordinated rotation aspects of the system much more practical and efficient today.
