Abstract

A method for generating electricity from solar power to a surveillance camera, relying on a photovoltaic panels (1) circuit interruption device (3,9); charge controller (4); batteries (5); surveillance camera (7); electrical wires, and fuses. The photovoltaic panel(s) will generate electrical power that will provide sufficient power to run the surveillance camera.

Claims

1. A method for providing solar power to a surveillance camera comprising:

a) one or more photovoltaic panels positioned on a surface exposed to sunlight;

b) two or more circuit interruption device units that protect against charge overflow;

c) a charge controller that checks a battery'"'"'s power level, load consumption and amount of electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels;

d) one or more batteries that will store the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels;

e) a surveillance camera that uses the stored energy from the photovoltaic panels;

f) a wireless energy transmitter that will transmit the energy generated by the photovoltaics panels;

g) a wireless energy receiver that will receive the energy transmitted by the wireless energy transmitter and apply it to the load, in this embodiment a surveillance camera;

2. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) an assembly receptacle that stores the circuit interruption device and the charge controller;

b) an electrical connection that connects the photovoltaic panels to the first dc controller.

3. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) an electrical connection between the first circuit interruption device and the charge controller;

b) an electrical connection between the charge controller and the load.

4. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) an electrical connection between the second circuit interruption device and the batteries, for solar power storage;

b) an electrical connection between the batteries and the photovoltaic panel.

5. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity needed by the load.

6. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity needed by the batteries.

7. The method as in claim 1 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels.

8. An improved method for directing the electricity generated by photovoltaic panels into a load.

9. The improved method as in claim 8 and further comprising:

a) in one embodiment the load is a surveillance camera;

b) the manner in which the panels were mounted;

c) the way the wires were run and the manner of installation of the circuit interruption device units were wired together make this unit work with enough electrical output to run a surveillance camera.

10. The improved method as in claim 8 and further comprising:

a) An load that will utilize the electricity generated by the solar panels;

11. The improved method as in claim 8 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity needed by the load.

12. The method as in claim 8 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity needed by the batteries.

13. The method as in claim 8 and further comprising:

a) the logical settings in the charge controller to measure the level of electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels.

14. An improved photovoltaic apparatus for generating and directing the electricity generated by photovoltaic panels into a load. Such apparatus having an extremely high amount of electrical current is an improvement to all previous apparatus because it is capable of running a surveillance camera.

15. A system for generating and directing the electricity generated by photovoltaic panels into a load. Such apparatus having an extremely high amount of electrical current is an improvement to all previous apparatus because it is capable of running a surveillance camera.
