    Abstract: A PV assembly including framework, PV laminate(s), and a stiffening device. The framework includes a perimeter frame at least 10 feet in length and at least 5 feet in width. The PV laminate(s) are assembled to the perimeter frame to define a receiving zone having a depth of not more than 8 inches. The stiffening device is associated with the framework and is configured to provide a first state and a second state. In the first state, an entirety of the stiffening device is maintained within the receiving zone. In the second state, at least a portion of the stiffening device projects from the receiving zone. The stiffening device enhances a stiffness of the PV assembly in a plane of the perimeter frame, and can include rods defining truss structures.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly for converting solar radiation to electrical energy is described. The photovoltaic assembly includes a first photovoltaic module, a second photovoltaic module and a coupling platform. The first and second photovoltaic module each have a first side for securing to the coupling platform. The coupling platform has a retractable locking mechanism and a retaining device. The retaining device is positioned such that the first side of the second PV module inhibits the retractable locking mechanism from releasing the first side of the first PV module. The coupling platform also includes a support member for mounting to a tracking drive system or a roof top.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic sun tracking system including a photovoltaic assembly (64), a first mounting structure (60), and a second mounting structure (62). The photovoltaic assembly includes at least one PV cell (54) maintained by framework (58) defining a PV plane. The first and second mounting structures are mounted to a support surface and rotatably maintain the framework at first and second pivot points (160, 162), respectively, to establish a tracking axis passing through the pivot points. The tracking axis is non-parallel with the PV plane. The photovoltaic assembly can be rocked along the tracking axis to follow motion of the sun relative to the earth. One or both of the mounting structures can be relatively small, and the off -parallel tracking axis promotes increased efficiency over the course of a year.

    Abstract: The area of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) require reliable, robust and durable reflectors capable of withstanding different environments, weather and transportation conditions. It is therefore important to use a method for fabricating a reflector which seals a reflector edge against moisture, corrosion and contaminants and protects the edge from cracks and damage. Embodiments of this method include depositing a clear sealant over the reflector edges, extending a reflective film over the edges of the reflector then sealing from the back and laminating a flexible strip of a clear polymer such as PVB and EVA around the top edge, a bottom edge, and all side edges of the reflector. Another embodiment includes performing hemming process on a front assembly of the reflector over the edges of a back assembly forming a sacrificial layer at the back of the reflector to prevent delamination.
