We were already aware of how solar

panels contribute to the production of
renewable energy, which benefits the
environment. This project helps us to use
the same principle as solar panels, except
this time it's an all-weather panel. This
project investigates the energy storage
capacity of all weather cells, which are
made up of selected components,
graphene coat, and copper sheet. This
version of energy panel may generate
electricity from sunlight, air current, and
raindrops.

Solar energy is one of the main

prerequisite of the life on the Earth.
While there is a high demand for
electricity, this invention aims to find
low-cost, environmentally sustainable
ways to produce it. It's usually done
with solar panels, but what if it could
also be done with raindrops?

Nowadays, climate change is relevant; not

just in our country but in the whole world.
Some of the reasons why this invention was
made is because of these environmental
problems, climate change and rapid increase
in human demand. As the world population
increases, the demand for some of our
basic needs also increases. Along with that,
is the need for effective renewable energy
sources. The innovation presented here is a
low cost, high efficiency graphene based
conducting composite designed all weather
panel that can be enabled by raindrops or
sunlight. The principle addresses two major
global issues: the rapid rise in population
demands and the slowing of climate change.

Given the prevalence of climate change in

our nation today, the product in this
invention will help society in a way that the
increased demand for electricity justifies the
need for more efficient energy sources. As
a result, the society that implements the
suggested method based on this invention
will be able to provide the most portable
electricity sources on their homes.
This invention is also able to light up homes
depending on the electrical consumptions
they consume. Since this invention is low
cost, most people may be able to have this
product. In that way, our daily living will
change with renewable energy sources and
every home's electricity bills will decrease
due to the help of this all weather panel.

 HOW DOES
THIS WORK?
The all-weather panel works similarly to solar panels
in that it allows sunlight, air current, and raindrops
to knock electrons loose from atoms, resulting in a
flow of electricity. To maximize its functionality, the
invention is made up of several layers. But it is the
layer of copper coated with graphene that creates
the smaller unit cells of the all-weather panel that is
truly important. Each of the all-weather cells'
graphene coated layers can produce up to 100 amps
of electricity. As a result, a weather panel made up
of a collection of these cells would generate more
electric current. Still applying the principle of solar
panel, graphene and other chemicals are added to
make it an all-weather panel. To produce electricity,
graphene can isolate the positively charged ions in
rain. The graphite flakes then exfoliate at the
water-heptane interface, and graphene begins to
"climb" up the glass walls of the vial in the panel.
 HOW DOES
THIS WORK?
Graphene cells need an electric field to work. A
magnetic field is created when opposite poles are
separated, and an electric field is created when
opposite charges are separated. The graphene layer
with other materials such as water and heptane and
need to sonicate it for a while to create this electric
field, and create more electrons. Thus granting each
slice of the sandwich a positive or negative electrical
charge. This invention can convert the photons (which
are excited electrons) from the sunlight, and the
positively charged ions from the raindrops into
electric current. As this panel is connected to an
inverter, the direct current from the all weather
panel produces the electricity that is commonly
consumed at homes.

 HOW IS IT MADE?

To make this product, we must

first understand the safety
precautions, as there will be a
chemical used to degrease the
copper tube and collect graphene
in graphite. The copper sheet
serves as the basis for
constructing a standard solar cell.
We must heat the collection of
copper sheets for at least 30-60
minutes for the copper sheet to
be working, then let it cool for a
few minutes.

Copper and the cupric oxide layer

shrink at various rates throughout
the cooling process. As long as
the cupric oxide layer is dense
enough, the black cupric oxide
can flake off, revealing the red
cuprous oxide layer underneath.
Cuprous oxide is a semiconductor
that must be exposed for the
solar cell to work, after which the
collection would be a clean copper
sheet.
 HOW IS IT MADE?

The negative terminal will be the

cuprous oxide-coated or heated
copper sheet, while the positive
terminal will be the clean copper
sheet. The electrolytes that bring
the current from the cuprous
oxide layer to the clean copper
sheet will be provided by a
saltwater solution. For us to make
an effective solution, one part
salt to three parts water would
suffice.

The key substance, graphene,

which can be obtained from
graphite, will serve as the one
who will make this cell work at all
weathers. This is because the
graphene can produce electricity
by separating positively charged
ions in rain, such as sodium,
calcium, and ammonium. Graphite
is one of the ways to collect
graphene; a finely ground
graphite mixed with water and
heptane extracts a single layer of
graphene. After that, sonicate it
for a few minutes.
 HOW IS IT MADE?

The graphite flakes exfoliate at

the water-heptane interface, and
graphene begins to "climb" up the
glass walls of the vial in the
panel. Strain these graphene
flakes and apply a layer of it in
the copper sheet. This single
graphene cell must be combined
with more graphene cells to form
an all-weather panel with greater
efficacy.

To complete the all weather

panel, it must be housed in layer
with aluminium frame, tempered
glass, encapsulants (must be
ethylene vinyl acetate), the all
weather cells which were previously
made, some back sheet
(preferably metal), and the
junction box to be connected at
the inverter for electricity usage.

We all know that one of the biggest contributor to climate

change are the greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases

are mostly emitted by burning of fossil fuels as well as from

the chemicals used and ejected by most factories. This

invention allows those problems to be solved by gradually

lessening the production of energy through these ways.

This may decrease the emission of greenhouse gases in the

atmosphere, and may reverse the climate change.

 Renewable energy is also good for people's health.

Coal and natural gas power plants pollute the air and

water, endangering human health. However, switching

from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like this

all-weather panel will lower premature mortality and

health-care costs.
 Our use of electricity, chemicals, and transportation

directly contributes to air pollution. When fossil fuels are

burned to generate energy, toxic gases and other air

particles are released, which are the primary source of air

pollution. Renewable energy source may help lessen these

air pollutant emissions.

While fossil fuel production uses a lot of water and pollutes

it, renewable energy uses little to no water. So, not only

does this all-weather device not pollute water supplies, but

it also does not place a strain on the world's water supply

because it only gets water from raindrops.

If there are multiple power stations spread out around the

grid, it is less vulnerable to blackouts. A grid with a strong

renewable energy penetration has thousands of energy

generation centers that are widely dispersed. This

increases grid stability in the event of overload, natural

disasters, or human-caused disasters.
