Abstract
In this paper we propose a solar panel using Blu-Ray (BR) disc. BR disc is mainly used for high data storage purpose but it also can be used for light trapping. By using the light trapping from sun rays we regulate the electrons from the BR disc. The regulated electrons flow through the copper coil which is connected to Zener diode. Zener diode is used for voltage regulation. BR disc technology mainly used for surface coating to increase the efficiency of solar panel.
Keyword: Blu-Ray Disc (BR disc), Copper Coil, Zener Diode.
1. Introduction
With the increasing demand of the electrical energy the newly developed ways of electricity production are also introduced. The one of the best way to generate the electricity is by using the sun rays. Sun is a conventional source of energy. The solar panels we use today are capable to use the energy from sun ray is up to 15-18 % only. If we do surface platting of BR disc on solar panel it is capable of using 22% of energy which is massive. so that we do surface platting of BR disc pattern on solar panel toincrease the efficiency of solar panelup to 22% or more than that.
1.1 Problem Statement
The main purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of solar panel by using surface platting of BR disc pattern and also the light trapping phenomenon.
2. Methodology
The design of BD disc solar panel is shown in above figure 1. The sun ray falls on the BD disc are used to regulate the electrons in the disc. The disc is consist of unique quasi random pattern of 150-525nm which is repeating and perfectly tuned for light (photons) trapping. The trapped photons use to accelerate the electrons from BD disc and then flow through copper wire which is regulated by Zener diode. In this way the voltage is generate and it can be stored in batteries for further use.
3. Result and Discussion
Table number 1 shows the voltage generated by four different panels for solar trapping. Panels under consideration are CD, DVD, BR-Disc and Solar cell.
Types Voltage C. D. 12 mv D. V.D. 35 mv BR Disc 1.0 v Solar cell 5.8 v BR platted solar cell 6.4 v
Table no. 1 Output voltage comparison of various panels.
The management of photons nanoimprinting templates for creating thin nano-structure solar cells can be done in low cost by using the pre-written Blu-ray movie disc or the disc with already stored Blu-ray data. Figure 3 shows line width for CD, DVD and BR disc.

Conclusion In this paper we see that how BR disc can be used to increase the efficiency of solar panels. Also we see how BR disc works for voltage regulation. The surface platting of BR pattern on solar panel is the cheapest way to increase the power generation using solar panel. The paper is also helps to know the wavelength of CD, DVD, and BR disc.
