MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095494 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Integrated Solar-Powered Satellite Connectivity System And Method For Rural Electrification And Telecommunications.

Inventors include Satya Prakash; Abhinav Joseph; and Rajeev Kanday.

The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated solar-powered satellite connectivity system designed for rural electrification and telecommunications. The system comprises a satellite dish equipped with a Low-Noise Block Downconverter (LNB) for receiving and converting high-frequency satellite signals into lower frequency signals. Photovoltaic (PV) cells are integrated onto the surface of the satellite dish, enabling the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy. The satellite dish is supported by a DTH stand, which includes a stand joint point for adjusting the dish's orientation. The integration of the satellite dish and PV cells into a single unit allows for simultaneous satellite connectivity and solar energy generation. The LNB, mounted on an arm extending from the dish, facilitates the capture and down conversion of satellite signals for processing by a receiver. The generated electrical power from the PV cells can be utilized for household needs or fed into an electrical grid.
