Interactive visualization and analysis of a solar panel array concept for sailboats.
Solar panel array deployed on a sailboat
- 3D visualization of solar panel configurations
- Dynamic shadows with adjustable sun position
- Power generation and cost estimatations
- Analysis of power across sun positions and power vs. budget plot to find optimal configurations
Interactive 3D visualization tool for analyzing stack configurations.
- Input boat geometry and panel specifications
- Adjustable sun position with sliders
- Shadows and power estimates based on sun direction (yellow vector)
Heatmap showing power generation across different relative sun positions.
Analysis of maximum average power achievable at different budgets to find an optimal configuration. Each point represents a unique stack configuration with different panel spacing and width.
This solar panel arrangement is patent pending (US Patent Application No. #19/009,990)
