The at least one solar panel plate (4, 4') is attached to the support frame (12) by means of one or more wedges (22, 22') arranged in a gap between a support structure (58) of the support frame (12) and the solar panel plate (4, 4').

Description

Solar Panel Mounting System, Solar Panel comprising the
System and Method for Mounting Solar Panel Plates to a Solar Panel
Field of invention
The present invention relates to a method for mounting solar panel plates to a solar panel. The present invention also relates to a mounting system for mounting solar panel plates to a solar panel.
Prior art
There is increasing focus on renewable energy. Accordingly, many new solar panels are being installed both in solar panel parks and on buildings.
When solar panels are installed, it is extremely important to attach the solar panel plates to the mounting structures of the solar panels in a reliable manner.
In the prior art, the solar panel plates are attached to the mounting structures of the solar panels by means of bolts that are mounted by an installation contractor. There is, however, several drawbacks associated to this mounting procedure.
First of all, the bolts are often tightened too much (causing permanent damage) or too little which can cause the bolts to loosen and fall off. Secondly, the mounting procedure is very time consuming.
CN 109617511 A discloses a photovoltaic power generation support that comprises solar cell panels, a support main body and fixed assemblies. A plurality of solar cell panels are laid on the support main body in a tiled mode in a rectangular array form. A plurality of wedges are used to provide a fast attachment. The wedges are, however, not configured to provide a secure attachment. Accordingly, it would be desirably to have an alternative.
Thus, there is a need for a method and a mounting system which reduces or even eliminates the above mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention can be achieved by a mounting system as defined in claim 1 and by a method as defined in claim 10. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent subclaims, explained in the following description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Hereby, it is possible to provide an alternative to the use of bolts. The invention makes it possible to mount the panel plates to a solar panel in a fast and reliable manner.
In one embodiment, the base portion comprise one or more plates. In one embodiment, the base portion is plate-formed.
It is an advantage that the wedge comprises a barbed portion, wherein the support structure comprises an opening configured to lockingly receive the barbed portion of the wedge and hereby provide a locking engagement of the barbed portion and the opening.
In one embodiment, the wedge comprises a pointed distal end.
In one embodiment, the support structure extends parallel with the underside of the solar panel plate. Hereby, the mounting of the one or more wedges can be eased. Moreover, the one or more wedges will hereby be configured to provide a permanently attachment.
In one embodiment, the the solar panel plate has a normal axis, wherein the support frame comprises a bend portion configured to prevent the solar panel plate from being displaced along the normal axis of the solar panel plate.
In one embodiment, the bend portion comprises several arced portions.
In one embodiment, the support frame is symmetric and is designed to receive and be attached to two adjacent panel plates .
In one embodiment, the wedge is provided with a bore. Hereby, it is possible to detach the wedge.
In one embodiment, the bore is a through bore.
In one embodiment, the bore is arranged in the proximal end of the wedge. In one embodiment, the wedge comprises a proximal structure that has a larger thickness than the gap into which the wedge is inserted. Hereby, the proximal structure protrudes from the gap and thus the proximal structure can be accessed.
In one embodiment, the solar panel comprises a base portion, wherein the support frame is attached to the base portion of the solar panel.
In one embodiment, the mounting system comprises a lock configured to be arranged in a position, in which the lock is configured to prevent the solar panel plate from moving along the lateral axis of the solar panel.
