MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126785 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 15, 2025, for 'dual axis tracking solar energy system with reflective concentrators.'
Inventor(s) include Rohit; Shaurya Thackur; Hemanta Yogi; Rajinder Singh; Prince Penny Hembrom; and Dr. Suman Debnath.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a hybrid solar energy harvesting system combining photovoltaic and thermoelectric energy generation integrated with concentrated solar irradiation, dual-axis tracking, and active thermal management. A Fresnel reflector focuses sunlight onto a 50 W photovoltaic panel and thirty carbon-black-coated thermoelectric generator modules. The cold side of the TEGs is cooled by a miniature refrigeration unit powered by an auxiliary solar panel, while a water-based cooling system driven by another auxiliary panel cools all PV panels. An Arduino-controlled dual-axis tracker optimizes solar incidence, and dual MPPT controllers regulate hybrid power extraction. A DC-DC boost converter stabilizes TEG output. Bluetooth-enabled control allows remote operation of the tracker. Thermocouples, fuses, and overload protection ensure safety. The system provides enhanced renewable energy efficiency through simultaneous PV and TEG power generation, active cooling, and autonomous off-grid operation."
