SOLAR ANTENNA ARRAY AND ITS FABRICATION

摘要

A solar antenna array may comprise an array of antennas that may capture and convert sunlight into electrical power. Methods for constructing the solar antenna array may use a stencil and self aligning semiconductor processing steps to minimize cost. Designs may be optimized for capturing a broad spectrum of visible light and non-polarized light. Testing and disconnecting defective antennas from the array may also be performed.

主权项

1. A solar antenna array configured to convert sunlight into electrical power, comprising:
uniformly horizontally spaced alternating power and ground lines, with sloped sides, and carbon nanotube antennas of vertically varying lengths connected between the power and ground lines.
