Patent ID: 8492929

Claim:
A method of generating alternating current electricity comprising the steps of: providing a base; providing a plurality of pairs of first and second solar cells supported on the base and connected in anti-parallel to form a two-terminal a/c junction with each a/c junction connected to one another to form a first a/c electricity output terminal as one half of the two-terminal a/c junction and second a/c electricity output terminal as another half of the two-terminal a/c junction; providing a motor supported on the base; providing a disc coupled to the motor for rotation by the motor, the disc having a plurality of spaced apart cutouts defining a series of openings and continuities; gradually exposing and covering each one of the plurality of pairs of first and second solar cells by rotation of the disc by the motor to rotate the series of openings and continuities alternately over the plurality of pairs of first and second solar cells to produce alternating current electricity at the first and second a/c electricity output terminals.
