Centered on the theme addressed, the solution we devised is related to the use of
batteries that are no longer capable of generating the energy necessary for their purpose
and using them to accumulate the energy produced by photovoltaic solar panels, with
the purpose of using it for nighttime domestic energy consumption.
Therefore, families used energy from photovoltaic solar panels during the day and what
was not used was stored to be consumed at night by appliances and appliances that need
to be turned on 24 hours a day. We know that this consumption is clearly lower than
during the day, however, we believe that if we connect the scooter batteries together we
can generate a product that is capable of storing this energy and that, therefore, becomes
more advantageous.
However, we are aware that the percentage of electric scooter battery capacity at the end
of its useful life can vary widely, but generally the remaining capacity can be between
70% and 80% of the original maximum capacity. In some cases, the remaining battery
capacity may be reduced to less than 70% of its original capacity, and in extreme
situations, it may even be less than 50%.
Assuming that 100% corresponds to the total maximum capacity, that is, 1kWh in the
case of Bird scooters, then 70% will correspond to 0.70 kWh, which does not satisfy
what a family spends during the night, more specifically between the period between
nine at night and six in the morning, which is the average time a family uses 1 kWh.
Therefore, we will combine several batteries in order to make our final prototype more
efficient, functional, meet our buyers needs, have a harmonious design and
simultaneously be able to contribute to putting an end to the erroneous way in which
batteries scooters are discarded, which negatively influences our planet.
We believe that our idea is innovative because we use renewable energy, solar energy,
and we also give new life to end-of-life electric scooter batteries.
