Automated system of smart-windows using solar cells
Alexey G. Yakunin · Physical Sciences and Technology · 2018
The smart window management system uses the Arduino controller to automate the device working onrenewable energy sources. Possibility of using the obtained solutions for the design of wall-mounted powerplants using solar energy is presented. Solar panels can be used not only for their direct purpose (generationof electricity), but also as a household appliance with a set of various consumer functions. Mounting of suchdevice on the facade of residential and office buildings modernizes the architectural view and contributesto the improvement of the cities environment. Using the Arduino controller and its accompanying circuitboards will help to solve the problem of digitalization of the building windows and connect solar cell baseddevices to the Internet via a standard Wi-Fi router. Such actions will ensure the broad demand for suchdevices among residents of cities, which will result in a high degree of commercialization of the resultedwork.
