Part 4/6:
Rather than using usual wire connections from a lampshade, the structure employs heavy-duty aluminum foil, meticulously assembled to optimize electrical contact and performance. Paul hopes that this arrangement will facilitate the efficient transfer of collected energy to whatever load or storage system he plans to connect.
Mounting and Calibration
Once assembled, the collector is mounted on a platform atop his roof. Paul describes using a simple screw mechanism, threaded into the pole, allowing him to secure and adjust the angle of the collector reliably. Proper alignment is crucial, and Paul mentions that he has calculated the optimal angle to maximize energy intake.
