Definitions
- the solar module mounting apparatus includes: (i) a single support sheet including one or more connecting regions such that a force applied to the single support sheet is distributed throughout the single support sheet and to one or more of the connecting regions; (ii) a module fastener designed to secure a solar module on the single support sheet; and (iii) one or more support fasteners for fastening one or more of the connecting regions of the single support sheet to a supporting surface, such that when the solar module is secured on the single support sheet that is fastened to the supporting surface, a force acting upon the solar module is distributed through the single support sheet to the supporting surface.
- a first connecting region is disposed at a first edge of the single support sheet and a second connecting region is disposed at a second edge of the single support sheet, and wherein the first edge and second edge are opposite to each other.
- the support structure further includes one or more connecting regions that, in a mounted state of the solar module mounting apparatus, couple the support structure and the supporting surface, and wherein the one or more of the connecting regions are disposed in a same or substantially same plane as a substantially flat region of the support structure or in a same or substantially same plane as the protruding portion.
- Figure 5c shows that one or more inverters and/or one or more junction boxes, in
- Figure 6b shows a perspective view of the integrated structure of multiple solar modules shown in Figure 6a and that includes support fasteners, which may ultimately mount to a supporting surface.
- the present teachings provide novel solar module mounting system designs and methods of assembling thereof.
- the solar module designs of the present teachings use a support structure that transfer loads from one or more solar modules to an underlying supporting surface that may be part of a building structure where the solar module is installed.
- One or more support fasteners 344 may be any means for securing single support sheet 302 to support surface 310.
- one or more module fasteners 306 may be any means of securing solar module 306 to single support sheet 302.
- one or more module fasteners 306 or one or more support fasteners 344 include any one of mechanical fasteners or at least one adhesive chosen form a group comprising butyl, silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide and elastomeric -based sealants.
- Support structure 310 may be any structures capable of supporting solar module and its associated mounting system described herein.
- support structure 310 may be a structure chosen from a group comprising roof, wall, ground, and support stand or a structure coupled to roof, wall or ground.
- protruding region 428 contacts an underlying portion of supporting surface 410. Furthermore, support fasteners 408, which pass through connecting regions 404 secure support structure 402 to supporting surface 410. In this configuration, a force acting upon solar module 412 is transferred to support structure 402 and distributed throughout support structure 402. Those regions of the support structure 402 that contact supporting surface 410 transfer the force from support structure 402 to supporting surface 410. As a result, an external force applied to solar module 412 is transferred through protruding region 428 and connecting regions 404 to supporting surface 410.
- FIG. 5a through 5f illustrate a support structure 502 according to another embodiment of the present teachings.
- support structure 502 includes two recessed regions 530 and 532. Such recesses are created between support structure 502 and solar module 512.
- First recessed region 530 is created when two sloping portions 524 and 526 flank a protruding portion 528.
- a load acting upon a solar module 712 is transferred through support structures 702 and 702' and through one or more support fasteners 708, to one or more trusses 746 of supporting surface 710.
- one or more support fasteners 744 also secures support structures 702 and 702' to each other.
- Second connecting region 704b of support structure 702 overlaps first connecting region 704' a of support structure 702' and are secured together by one or more support fasteners 744. In this manner one or more support fasteners secures support structures 702 and 702' to each other and to supporting surface 710.
- Method 800 preferably begins with a step 802, which includes obtaining a single support sheet (e.g., single support sheet 102 of Figure 1 , 202 of Figure 2) including one or more connecting regions (e.g., one or more connecting regions 204a and 204b of Figure 2) such that a force applied to the single support sheet is distributed throughout the single support sheet and to one or more of the connecting regions.
- a single support sheet e.g., single support sheet 102 of Figure 1 , 202 of Figure 2
- connecting regions e.g., one or more connecting regions 204a and 204b of Figure 2
- single support sheet is capable of supporting one or more solar modules.
- Step 806 includes mounting the solar module on the
- a single support sheet is applied to a solar module using one or more module fasteners to form a module support structure subassembly.
- a step 906 includes mounting the module support structure subassembly on a supporting surface using one or more support fasteners, such that when the module support structure subassembly is fastened to the supporting surface, a force acting upon the solar module is distributed through the single support sheet to the supporting surface.
- a step 1 104 includes securing the support structure to a solar module using one or more module fasteners to form a module support structures subassembly;
