Abstract: Some embodiments relate to an attachment system for attaching at least one panel to a supporting structure that includes at least one girder extending in a first direction, the girder including a holding rim and a surface for bearing the panel thereon. The system includes a flange, a clamp and a clamping assembly linking the flange to the clamp, which are arranged so as to sandwich, during assembly, the holding rim of the girder with the panel so that they bear on the bearing surface of the girder. The clamp includes a first series of teeth projecting towards the flange in a manner substantially parallel to an axis of the clamping assembly. The teeth are to engage, via gripping, with the holding rim of the girder during assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assessing parameters for controlling a solar tracker including modules which include a table of means for processing solar radiation which is movable on means for connecting to the ground, which includes detecting, for each connection means, spatial coordinates of a point for connection with the table; for each module: i. determining a tilt of the table from the determined spatial coordinates; ii. determining spatial coordinates of a series of reference points of the table from the spatial coordinates and the tilt; determining, for each module, positioning parameters of the table relative to directly adjacent tables, from the spatial coordinates of the reference points; and determining parameters for controlling the tracker from the tilt and the relative positioning parameters of the tables of the tracker.

Abstract: A method for installing a solar structure includes the steps of: a) planting at least two anchoring feet in an area on the ground (S); b) arranging a pivot support having a pivot axis (X) on the free end that extends above the area of ground of each of the anchoring feet; c) aligning the pivot axes of the pivot supports with each other; d) attaching the pivot supports to the respective anchoring foot thereof; and e) positioning the solar structure on the pivot supports.

Abstract: A method for aligning a set of solar modules of a solar tracker includes a means of connection and of transmission of a solar-tracking movement between two adjacent solar modules of the set of solar modules. The method includes an iterative loop that includes, for each on-going iteration, steps of: disconnecting adjacent solar modules of an aligned subset of solar modules derived from a previous iteration; defining which one of the previously disconnected adjacent solar modules will be the reference solar module for the on-going iteration; orienting the aligned subset of solar modules in such a way that the solar modules of the aligned subset of solar modules are aligned with the reference solar module; connecting the aligned subset of solar modules with the reference solar module for the on-going iteration so as to define an aligned subset of solar modules for the next iteration.

Abstract: A system for effecting the rotational movement of a solar tracker about an axis of rotation includes a bow mounted on the solar tracker and comprising a rack and a worm engaging with the rack to effect the rotational movement, the rack having a plastic tooth set and the bow having a damper configured to dampen the connection with the solar tracker.

Abstract: A mounting system for holding at least one solar panel on a solar module of a solar tracker includes at least one beam having a longitudinal elongate opening and a bearing surface against which the at least one solar panel is intended to bear, and at least one clamping assembly that includes a clamp defining a housing designed to accept an edge of the solar panel against the bearing surface, a threaded clamping element collaborating with the clamp and a connecting element that connects the threaded clamping element with the beam collaborating with the longitudinal elongate opening, the longitudinal elongate opening being produced on a lateral side of the beam adjacent to the bearing surface.

Abstract: A method for embedding at least one solar structure, including one or more anchoring legs, includes making one or more holes in which the at least one solar structure is to be installed; forming one or more concrete slabs in the hole(s) at one installation rib; after setting of the concrete slab(s), locating the position(s) of the anchoring leg(s) of the at least one solar structure on the concrete slab(s); installing the at least one solar structure in the hole(s), with the anchoring leg(s) bearing on the concrete slab(s) at the position(s) of the anchoring leg(s) that were located beforehand; and embedding the at least one solar structure.

Abstract: The basic solar module (3) comprises a frame (31) that can be placed directly or indirectly on the ground, means (32) for processing solar radiation that are mounted on the frame, the frame comprising, which being situated between the ground and the frame, a rotating cylindrical rounded surface of which one axis of revolution is a swinging axis about which the frame can swing relative to the ground.

Abstract: A coupling device for transmitting torque between an input shaft and an output shaft have respective opposing ends, includes a male element and a female element for engaging with one another. One of the input shaft and the output shaft includes, at the end, the male element, a cross-section of which has a generally polygonal outer shape. The other of the input shaft and the output shaft includes, at the end, the female element, a cross-section of which has a generally polygonal inner shape complementary to the polygonal outer shape of the male element. The male and female elements engage with one another by meshing with a first functional play between them, and the male element and the shaft on which the male element is mounted have a second functional play between them. The male element and the shaft engage each other by meshing with the second functional play.
