    摘要: An outdoor solar powered recliner of the invention has a seat main assembly having a seat surface and a back rest assembly. A leg rest is movable with respect to the seat main assembly. A solar panel on the seat main assembly provides power to a battery. The solar panel may be hidden beneath a mesh seat fabric or located adjacent seat back supports. An actuator manipulates the leg rest and/or back rest assembly. A control panel controls activation of at least one of a light source and the actuator and communicates with a circuit board and the battery. A cavity beneath the seat portion may be provided to house the battery, solar panel, and to store a solar equipped cover. Arms on the recliner may be provided with an accessory orifice to receive a mounting member of an accessory table.

    摘要: A trestle includes a fixing unit for fixing a solar panel, a receiving member receiving the fixing unit from below, a base unit, and a first fastener. The base unit is formed with a height direction adjusting groove for fixing the receiving member to be adjustable in a height direction from a roof surface. The first fastener fixes the receiving member to the base unit by being attached to the height direction adjusting groove. The receiving member includes a sandwiching portion that sandwiches a part of the fixing unit and is formed with a hole into which the first fastener is inserted. The first fastener is formed in a shape attachable to the height direction adjusting groove and a shape insertable into the hole, and sandwiches a part of the fixing unit in the sandwiching portion.

    摘要: A method may include obtaining a normal set point of a solar panel and a wind velocity measurement corresponding to wind that affects the solar panel. The method may include determining an allowable range of tilt angles according to a first lookup table that describes a relationship between the wind velocity measurement and the allowable range of tilt angles. The method may include identifying whether the normal set point of the solar panel is outside of the allowable range of tilt angles, and responsive to identifying that the normal set point of the solar panel is outside of the allowable range of tilt angles, determining a temporary stow set point. The method may include rotating the solar panel to the temporary stow set point.

    摘要: A method may include obtaining information from a weather forecasting service that relates to indicators of an incoming hail event. The method may include determining a stowing score that quantifies whether the hail event is likely to occur within a period of time based on the information from the weather forecasting service. Responsive to the stowing score exceeding a threshold value, a time at which the incoming hail event is likely to occur may be predicted based on the weather forecasting service information. The threshold value may indicate a threshold likelihood of the hail event occurring or a threshold period of time before occurrence. The method may include determining a wind direction at the predicted time at which the hail event is likely to occur and stowing photovoltaic modules based on the wind direction.

    摘要: In an example, a clamp assembly for a glass on glass solar module for a tracker is included. The assembly has a lower clamp structure characterized by a top-hat shaped rail structure having a length extending from a first end to a second end. In an example, the assembly has an upper clamp structure configured to sandwich a pair of edges of a pair of solar modules with a portion of the lower clamp structure. In an example, the assembly has a locking spacer configured to the pair of edges of the pair of solar modules. In an example, the pair of edges comprises substantially glass material. In an example, the assembly has a pair of key structures configured with the locking spacer. Each of the key structures is affixed to each of the solar modules to physically lock each of the solar modules to the upper clamp structure.

    摘要: The invention relates to a photovoltaic component (10) for applications outside the automotive sector, in particular for buildings, containers, boats, ships, construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, trains and aircraft. The photovoltaic component has an outer pane (11) and an inner pane (12). Interposed between the outer pane (11) and the inner pane (12) is an energy generating layer (15) having a plurality of concentrator photovoltaic modules (20), the concentrator photovoltaic modules (20) having a condenser lens (21) as a primary optic and a photovoltaic chip (22) integrated into a surface mountable housing (30). The surface mountable housing (30) has at least two electrical contacts (22a, 22b) for contacting the photovoltaic chip (22), a transparent cover (36) and an integrated reflector (23) as secondary optics.
