摘要： A solar table mobile transport is described that moves a solar table to a point of installation. The solar table mobile transport comprises multiple motors that allow movement within a three-dimensional coordinate system as well as provide angular controls of pitch, yaw and roll. These motors enable at least one alignment process used to install the solar table to a mounting structure within a solar system.

摘要： A rail assembly includes a rail and an adapter. The adapter may be slidably interconnected with the rail via a first rail channel on a first rail side of the rail, and may also be slidably interconnected with the rail via a second rail channel on a second rail side of the rail. The adapter may be inverted (whether installed via the first rail channel or the second rail channel) between two different orientations that dispose a mounting flange at different elevations to accommodate two different mounting configurations.

摘要： A rail assembly (530) includes a rail (540) and an adapter (640). The adapter (640) may be slidably interconnected with the rail (540) via a first rail channel (604a) on a first rail side (600a) of the rail (540), and may also be slidably interconnected with the rail (540) via a second rail channel (604b) on a second rail side (600b) of the rail (540). The adapter (640) may be inverted (whether installed via the first rail channel (604a) or the second rail channel (604b)) between two different orientations that dispose a mounting flange (670) at different elevations to accommodate two different mounting configurations.

摘要： A solar module mounting bracket assembly includes a rail configured to support a solar module thereon, and a pair of braces. The braces each have a first end portion movably coupled to the rail. The braces are movable relative to the rail between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. In the expanded configuration, the braces cooperatively define a channel dimensioned for receipt of a frame member.

摘要： A node for a solar frame including an elongate portion having a channel extending through it in which a structural element is disposed or a solid elongate portion on to which a structural element is disposed. The node comprises a fin extending radially outward from the elongate portion where at least 5% of the volume of the fin is replaced by at least a single void extending essentially in parallel with the channel or the extrusion direction of the solid elongate portion. An apparatus for transmitting torque in a solar frame having structural elements and a support. A system for solar mirrors. A node for a solar frame. A method for connecting a structural element with a strut having a strut end piece of a solar mirror support frame. A method for producing a node for solar mirror frame.

摘要： A support for solar panels disclosed in the present invention comprises: a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket has a first frame for supporting a solar panel. The second bracket is arranged perpendicular to the first bracket and has a second frame connected to the first bracket. The first frame comprises a first clamping portion and a loading portion. The first bracket is clipped into the first clamping portion. The loading portion is provided for supporting the solar panel. The second frame comprises a second clamping portion and a third clamping portion. The first bracket is clipped into the second clamping portion. The second bracket is clipped into the third clamping portion. Since the two brackets arranged perpendicular to each other are respectively associated with a frame of particular function, the support can be efficiently and simply assembled.
