摘要： Improvements in the design and construction of solar collector modules. Aspects of the invention include improvements in the layout of a frame for a solar collector module, and in the joining of structural members of the frame at nodes. In one example, a module of a solar collector includes a reflector and a three-dimensional structural frame that supports the reflector. The frame is made up of substantially rigid elongate frame members interconnected at nodes. Improved node connection components include hubs or frame members having tabs for receiving frame member connections. A tab may have a width that is substantial in relation to its height. The frame may incorporate asymmetry in its layout, in the size or presence of frame members, or in the positioning of the nodes.

摘要翻译： 改进太阳能集热器模块的设计和施工。 本发明的方面包括改进用于太阳能收集器模块的框架的布局以及在节点处将框架的结构构件的连接。 在一个示例中，太阳能收集器的模块包括反射器和支撑反射器的三维结构框架。 框架由在节点互连的大致刚性的细长框架构件组成。 改进的节点连接组件包括具有用于接收帧成员连接的接头的轮毂或框架构件。 标签可能具有相对于其高度实质的宽度。 该帧可以在其布局，帧大小或帧成员的存在或节点的定位中包括不对称性。
