  • Patent number: 6329589
    Abstract: A solar panel arrangement for capturing solar energy and supplying power for use in a building. Solar cells are embedded in a window pane and generate electrical direct current that is converted, by an electrical circuit permanently attached to the pane, to an oscillating current that is fed to a ferrite core mounted to the pane. An external ferrite core is mounted in close proximity to the core, so that the oscillating current can be picked up and supplied to a building. The arrangement allows window panes to be pre-formed or manufactured with certain built-in electrical components, and, without the need for skilled labor, to be easily connected to a power circuit external of the window pane.
