    摘要: The present invention relates to a photovoltaic facility (1) comprising a solar tracker (2) and at least one square or rectangular photovoltaic panel (3) mounted on the solar tracker (2), this solar tracker (2) enabling the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (3) to be varied with respect to the horizontal, so that two opposite edges of the photovoltaic panel, referred to as horizontal edges (31), are always horizontal whatever the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (3).
    This facility is characterised in that it comprises at least one gutter (4) for recovering rainwater, in that this gutter (4) is mounted along one of the two horizontal edges (31) of the photovoltaic panel (3) using at least two anchoring devices (5), to which it is suspended, so that it can oscillate under the action of its own weight, about a horizontal axis of rotation (Y-Y′), so as to remain horizontal whatever the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (3).

    摘要: A cleaning system for a solar panel is provided. The cleaning system comprises: i) a frame moveable in a transverse direction over the solar panel, the frame having edges oriented in the transverse direction; a brush assembly positioned within the frame and moveable in a longitudinal direction including a plurality brush holders arranged within the frame, with each brush holder being adapted to interchangeably receive a brush for cleaning the solar panel; and a liquid spray arrangement including nozzles arranged one or more rows for spraying at least one of water and a water detergent mix onto the solar panel. The liquid spray arrangement includes nozzles positioned near at least one of the transverse edges of the frame for spraying the water detergent mix onto a longitudinal end of the brush assembly.

    摘要: A solar panel mount includes a plate, a compression spacer, a mounting shaft, and a mounting member. The plate includes a first edge and a first surface. The plate defines at least one opening spaced from the first edge. The mounting member is between the plate and the compression spacer, defines at least one channel aligned with the at least one opening of the plate to receive the mounting shaft through an opening of the at least one opening and a corresponding channel of the at least one channel. The compression spacer receives the mounting shaft.

    摘要: A solar battery module is provided that includes plural solar battery cells, plural interconnectors each having a shock absorber, a sealing layer, a back face layer, and a front face layer having optical transparency. The plural solar battery cells each include an electrode on a peripheral edge portion at a back face that does not receive sunlight. The plural interconnectors extend along the peripheral edge portions, and connect the electrodes of the plural solar battery cells to each other. The sealing layer seals each of the solar battery cells and each of the interconnectors. The shock absorber is disposed in a region between corner portions of adjacent or diagonally opposing solar battery cells, and permits movement of the solar battery cells accompanying expansion or contraction of at least one out of the back face layer or the front face layer.

    摘要: An exemplary method for installing at an installation site a photovoltaic module including a panel and support legs includes disposing the photovoltaic module over a support surface such that the support legs are in a stowed position; lifting the photovoltaic module from a support surface while engaging a magnetic field with the support legs so as to maintain the support legs in the stowed position; disengaging the magnetic field from the support legs of the lifted photovoltaic module so as to release the support legs from the stowed position to an installation position in which the support legs are rotated downwards relative to the stowed position; and lowering the photovoltaic module to the installation site with the support legs in the installation position so as to install the photovoltaic module at the installation site, the support legs supporting the panel at the installation site.
