Abstract
With renewable energy continuing to grow as an industry, there are complementary markets that result from the rapid improvements in renewable energy efficiency. The OptimSolar product is a solar panel complement that improves solar panel power outputs and reduces installation inconveniences and costs. Hot climates can see up to a 70% improvement in power production, and colder climates could see up to a 45% improvement. OptimSolar provides a universal mount that will encourage the growth of the residential solar industry. By implementing low power computing and optimizable tracking and cooling in a universal and easy-to-install companion product, homeowners and residential installer will have a 'go-to' product for solar system installations worldwide.
