SWITCH Open Meeting - June 2019 - Vivek Gupta

• Solar Energy Tree will bring the cost of solar energy at par or lower than hydro, nuclear and coal
• Is based on two simple scientific principles
• Light reflects multiple times between two reflective parallel surfaces
• Hot air rises
• Does not interfere with any ecosystem, air, water, habitats, etc.
• Patent pending in the US
• Will simultaneously protect the environment and the economy

At present, silicon based solar cells can absorb only a certain spectrum of light. Therefore, they are reaching their theoretical efficiency limits. By splitting the light into various components, solar panels can be made with spectrum-specific cells to further enhance their efficiency.

Three patents granted by the USPTO

• Building Evacuation System (2004)
• Insulating and Heat Dissipating Panels (2012)
• Set of Handheld Adjustable Panels of Ergonomic Keys and Mouse (2015)

Vivek is an innovation enthusiast. He enjoys working with simple mechanical designs.
