Electrical Engineering project ideas

How about ways to improve the efficiency of solar panels. One way might be to place a larger fresnel lens over the the solar panel, not focused to a point but to the size of the panel. A couple of disadvantages, the panel may have to be submerged in a non-conductive liquid to keep it cool and the whole arrangement would have to track the sun. Can you think of other solutions?In summary, the conversation discusses ideas for a final year electrical engineering project related to solar energy or other renewable sources. One suggestion is to improve the efficiency of solar panels by using a larger fresnel lens and submerging the panel in a non-conductive liquid. Other solutions are also mentioned, such as building a real microinverter and

Hello! I would suggest exploring the use of solar energy in powering small electronic devices or developing a more efficient solar panel design. Other ideas could include creating a smart grid system that integrates renewable energy sources, designing a renewable energy storage system, or developing a renewable energy monitoring and management system. You could also consider exploring the use of renewable energy in transportation, such as electric vehicles or charging stations powered by solar energy. I hope these ideas help inspire your project!
 

1. What is an electrical engineering project?

An electrical engineering project is a task or experiment that involves the application of principles and concepts in the field of electrical engineering. It typically involves designing, building, and testing electrical systems or devices to solve a specific problem or achieve a certain goal.
