Lotus Leaf Solar Panel

I made a solar panel design with lotus leaf texture. This texture allows the solar panel to self clean itself when it rains like a lotus leaf. In addition, it allows the solar panel to absorb more sunlight due to increased surface area.

1. Tinkercad
2. Chromebook
3. Paper
4. Colored Pencils
5. Ruler
6. Pencils

Split paper into 3 sections

Draw a lotus leaf at the top left section

Draw the magnified texture of a lotus leaf with a water droplet on the top right section to show how the leaf interacts with water droplets

Using a ruler, draw the outline of a solar panel

Section the solar panel into 9 parts and add grass

Section the solar panel into smaller parts to accentuate the grid structure

Color and emphasize the rain and the mud rushing down the solar panel to show how the texture allows for rain or water to wash off and clean the dirt or dust on the solar panel.

Use tinkercad to create the design for the finalized solar panel with a rectangle for the solar panel, lines(thin rectangles) for the grid, and pyramids to represent the texture.
