Description

MOBILE SOLAR POWER PLANT

TECHNICAL FIELD

PRIOR ART

Types of energy such as natural gas, petrol used nowadays is going to face an extinction in future. This risk pushed people to carry out researches as to how everlasting sun could be converted into energy and as a result of these researches, it was started to exploit the sun by means of establishing solar power plants. Since solar energy is a renewable energy, a common energy resource, a clean energy, an easy-to-store and very low-cost system, it is a system preferred nowadays.

It is started to generate a direct current on the panel once sun light falls onto panels in the solar power plant. Solar energy panels are connected in either series or parallel according to rate of preferred power. Said systems may meet all energy need in cases where it is necessary. Desired energy is obtained by allowing solar panels to efficiently catch sun light.

Number of necessary panels should be increased so as to achieve a higher amount of energy generation. Increasing number of panels increases, in turn, square meters of installation area. Plants to be installed for higher energy are set up by manually performing montage by way of carrying all components with vehicles like trailer truck to the area where to be used. Manually performing montage of these systems causes to increase labor costs. Panels cannot exploit sun every hour of a day because they are mounted in an inclined angle. Panels are mounted bidirectionally so as to avoid said disadvantage. This is not appropriate in terms of costs. Another solar power plant employed nowadays is the systems which are movable, comprise a rotation property according to sun's angle of incidence and an automatic installation. However, these systems generate lower energy compared to area that they cover. Further, panels in said systems may be broken due to possible shakes in the course of carrying them because they are coupled to each other by means of screws.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION - Higher amount of energy can be generated by means of a plurality of panels that can be positioned on the mobile solar power plant of the invention.

Said plant is provided by means of a minimum hydraulic system and a software automatically opening and closing maximally scissors at hinges because of calculations performed by our engineers.

- Another property of the invention is that solar panels (8) are mounted to panel framework (6) with a spring (9) instead of using screws just like in other plant systems. Thus, breaking and cracking possibility are reduced maximally by means of suspending shakes that may occur in the course of carrying and using solar panels (8) comprising suspension.

- Further property of the invention is to give a closing instruction to the hydraulic system so as to avoid damages, which may occur on static structure of the device in possible bad weather conditions, by measuring wind speed through weathercock (25). Thus, the device is taken under protection.

- Further property of the invention is that it can be monitored through a camera (16) by allowing a remote access by means of GPRS and GSM board connection to be positioned thereon and possible malfunctions may be detected by a chip.

- Further property of the invention is that it can exploit sun in a maximum level by means of automatically self-adjustment according to morning, noon and afternoon angles of sun compared to present systems.

- Further property of the invention is to provide a significant grounding even in a possible electric leakage by means of a metal stake penetrated into ground through mounting holes on adjustable piers (3) providing balance and strength to the invention on the ground according to land slope.

- Further property of the invention is that it comprises a compass (22) ensuring a correct positioning prior to mounting so as to achieve a maximum efficiency from sun.

- Further property of the invention is that it comprises a GPRS system ensuring a correct positioning prior to mounting so as to achieve a maximum efficiency from sun.

- Further property of the invention is that all system may be opened and closed by means of two installation wheel (24) that require no maintenance and can be practically de-mounted and mounted thanks to a pin. - Further property of the invention is that panel frameworks (6) can be connected to each other by means of a framework connection apparatus (5) and can be opened and closed independently. - Further property of the invention is that it can be loaded on vehicles such as trailer, truck, trucking rig etc. without employing specific vehicles like cranes and forklifts by ascending easily from the ground by means of Hydraulic Loading Foot (12) on the main frame (10) and can be unloaded in the same way.

- Further property of the invention is that the system can be protected from external factors because it is carried completely in the main frame (10) in a covered manner.

- Further property of the invention is that it comprises sun tracking sensors (23) instructing in what degree solar panels (8) is to move so as to obtain a maximum efficiency after installation.

- Further property of the invention is that it can be used as a living and monitoring space thanks to a tent that can be put up on the living and monitoring space base (14) on the main frame (10), if necessary.
