Description

Modular solar installation

The present specification refers to, as its title indicates, to a modular solar installation of the type of used for generating electricity from panels photovoltaic solar, characterized in that it uses racks pre-assembled modules in which they are supported, stored, transported and install a plurality of commercial solar modules, inserted inside by lateral sliding through appropriate profiles, which can be placed modularly, by means of a quick and characteristic assembly procedure, on structures of support, on the grill of a solar tracker or directly on the surface to be installed, such as facades and roofs of buildings

They are now widely known multiple and varied types of solar installation photovoltaic In static type, photovoltaic modules responsible for converting solar energy into electrical energy mounted in a fixed and solidary manner on anchored fixed supports on the ground or on a fixed surface, such as a roof or terrace, conveniently oriented to try to capture as much as possible of average solar energy. Given its static character, the production energy is somewhat smaller than in dynamic installations with solar trackers, but that lower production is compensated with the much lower economic cost of both the equipment and the assembly of the installation or solar garden, in addition to the lower maintenance required. It is, therefore, an essentially important point in the photovoltaic solar installations of static type getting the lowest possible economic cost.

In dynamic type installations, made using solar trackers, the procedure of installation is similar, but applied on the mobile grill of the follower, normally made using a frame of stringers and crossbars.

For this, they are commonly known and have traditionally used a wide variety of mounting systems, such as those described in Utility Models 200402879 " Adjustable device for fixing solar panels ", 200702452 "Support structure for solar panels " and 200700665 "Support arrangement for solar installation and solar installation with such a support arrangement ", which share common characteristics of using support structures made of stringers and crossbars with metal profiles, which are mounted in situ on a screed or foundation shoe, and on which, subsequently, the solar modules are mounted individually using conventional fixing means, such as screws or rivets. This type of mounting system, despite using simple and relatively low-cost support structures, has the disadvantage that all assembly must be carried out on site at the place where the solar panels are located, in addition to the fact that the Assembly process is complicated, long and laborious, especially when the installation consists of many solar panels, which forces the assembly staff to work in the field for a long time, with the consequent economic cost, in addition to the dependence on conditions Weather conditions that can extend the assembly time even further.

An attempt has been made to find other types of solutions. For example Utility Model 200601881 "perfect Marquesina" 200700490 "Modular structure for canopy" and 200600138 "Roofing Solar photovoltaic for car parks" leverage support structure of a cover, with beams or support columns, for supporting in the upper part of the roof is a plurality of photovoltaic solar panels, but they still have the problem of needing a complicated on-site assembly of the solar modules, with the consequent delay in assembly time, high staff occupancy and high added economic cost.

To solve the problem in the News regarding the problem of excessive time and labor necessary for field installation of solar installations photovoltaic has been devised the modular solar installation object of the present invention, which comprises modular racks pre-assembled on which they are supported, stored, transported and installed a plurality of commercial solar modules. These racks modular can be placed modularly, by means of a fast and characteristic assembly procedure, both on support structures as directly on the grill of a solar tracker or on the surface to be installed, such as facades and roofs of buildings. In this way they can be used for both static and solar installations dynamic type, with solar tracking of any kind.

The modular racks are made up of longitudinal profiles with "J" section, related between yes in solidarity with cross and grouped plates two to two in facing position defining a channel of sliding dimensions according to the size of the modules commercially available individual plots. On the plate final transverse perpendicular stops are provided, constituted by folding, brackets or welded parts. In one of the outer longitudinal profiles are also arranged small plates or rings equipped with a perforation for securing a rope or lifting belt, transport and handling by a bull or crane.

The modular frame introduces the commercially available individual solar modules one behind of another by sliding through the channel formed by longitudinal profiles with "J" section and position faced, being retained at the end by the perpendicular stops. At least, the last individual solar module introduced is fixed mechanically to the frame by conventional mechanical means, screws, rivets, etc ...

The modular frame will be made in the measurements and adequate proportions to accommodate the number of solar modules individual desired, taking into account their manageability and transportability, being able to have any number of rows, in which you can slide any number of solar modules individual, with the modular rack of 2 rows of 4 being preferred or 5 solar modules arranged horizontally.

The optional support structures, Usable for mounting directly on the ground or on terraces, are formed by an inclined profile, endowed in its part bottom of a support bracket for the modular frame, and supported by legs, preferably 2 or 3, and height progressively growing, being able to be reinforced each other by crossbars These legs end at the bottom for some horizontal plates with an opening for fixing to the ground, roof, terrace or hearth by mechanical means conventional.

The modular frame is comfortably filled with the individual solar modules on the ship or workplace, serving as support and protection for temporary storage until assembly, further optimizing the storage space by remove individual packages from solar modules individual. During transport it also allows optimization of the space occupied in the truck box and the rapid loading and discharge.

The individual solar modules that make up each modular frame can be electrically prewired before its storage, for greater time savings.

These modular racks and structures of support involve a characteristic assembly procedure consisting in that they are first mounted if necessary, the support structures, either directly to the support, as in the case of terraces, roofs or similar, or a few small foundations or previously executed hearth, using in all conventional mechanical media cases.

Then, using a bull or small crane a modular frame is raised from the transport truck, using the small plates or rings and a rope or tape, located on the support structures, descends until the Bottom of the modular frame rest on the brackets of support of the inclined profile of the support structure, and it deposit on said inclined profile. Another frame is taken modular, rises, is now positioned so that the part bottom of the frame is on top of the frame above, on top of the small support plates and deposited again on the inclined profile, so that the new modular frame is arranged after the first, forming a continuous surface. The process is repeated as many times as if necessary, depositing new modular racks. One time finished, the frames are fixed to the support structure by conventional mechanical means.

These modular racks can, according to the application, do not specify the support structures described. In such cases, the modular racks will be mounted directly on the surface to be installed, as in the case of facades and roofs where an integration of the solar installation is intended adapting it to the volume and shape of the building, or as in the case of Grills are systems with solar tracking.

This invention is of special application in photovoltaic solar installations on the ground, on the ground (orchards and solar parks) or on roofs or facades of Any building

This modular solar installation that is presented provides multiple advantages over the systems available in the currently the most important being the enormous space savings of storage and transportation, and especially time and labor during the whole process, which favors running facilities solar with a lower economic cost.

Another important advantage is that the modular frame is comfortably filled with the individual solar modules in the building or work place, without the need of having the work staff on site , subject to the weather.

Also highlight the advantage that the modular frame serve as support and protection for your temporary storage until assembly, further optimizing the storage space by eliminating individual packages of the individual solar modules.

Another advantage is that during transport allows the optimization of the space occupied in the truck box and Fast loading and unloading.

It is important to highlight the advantage that supposes that the racks are modular, assembling with each other at the top and along, allowing to form any desired combination of installation without space limitations.

We must also highlight the advantage that the modular racks serve as a supporting structure that will form the solar installation, already containing the solar modules that may even be already connected forming a series electric

Another advantage is that, due to their size, they serve also as a mechanical anti-theft system of solar panels.
