Description
Solar Garden is a system that combines the energy supply model and an application software for its design. This system aims to meet the needs of the professional and domestic gardening sector, trying to replace the current gasoline tools with other electric tools that are cleaner for the environment, less noisy and cheaper in terms of use and maintenance. The main objective is to supply electric energy to such tools regardless of the worker’s geographical location, since this is the main problem that needs to be addressed. Such independence is the reason why tools with internal combustion engines currently predominate. The project’s possibility to transport the solar energy stored in batteries with the specific use of gardening work is completely new. The Android app we have developed facilitates this, together with the genetic supply model which is based on a watertight enclosure with IP57, suitable for environments with humidity, dust, etc., in which the two batteries used by the system are located, and a power inverter that provides the 220V output and the alternating current required by machine tools.Other information

Patent
Differentiation in the market:
Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Gardening. Maintenance of natural areas.
Advantages:
‒ Currently, there is no kind of system that offers a similar service to this one. The idea of transporting solar energy stored in batteries with the specific use of gardening work is something completely new. ‒ With the developed software, this entire installation can be sized only by entering the demand requirements, the location parameters and the manufacturer's data of the elements we wish to buy. The app will then show the requirements that a system needs to cover regarding power, current, charge capacity, etc. ‒ Simple app that seeks a high usability suitable for all users. ‒ An online discussion forum has been included for the system’s users, so they can comment their doubts, pieces of advice to other users or forward questions they deem appropriate to the developers. This way we will offer a service in addition to a product. A community of professionals that enjoy the same work and in the same conditions to prosper and improve.
