The goal of the project is to maximize light transmission using 3D printed materials. Our team aims to direct light from the sun using a geometric model with a larger effective area onto an array of LEDs, with a smaller effective area. We created a 3D-printed models that transfer light through filament strands onto a select location. This project is being conducted to create a better alternative to solar panels. Solar panels were created to turn light into usable energy, but they reflect about 10% and can only convert 15% to 20% of that into electricity. The other 80% to 94% of that energy is converted to heat. Our project aims to convert more of that solar energy into usable energy compared to solar panels.
