Abstract: Modular solar systems comprise one or more module units that are connectable into a system/assembly for convenient installation on a roof or other surface that receives solar insolation. The modules are adapted for electrical, and preferably also mechanical, connection into a module assembly, with the number of modules and types of modules selected to handle the required loads. Each module is adapted and designed to handle the entire power of the assembly and to provide or receive control signals for cooperative performance between all the modules and for monitoring and communication regarding the assembly performance and condition.

Abstract: A vehicle guidance system (VGS) facilitates interaction between human operated vehicles (HOV), autonomous driverless vehicles (ADV), and/or semi-autonomous vehicles, on the roadway, allowing safe interface with each other and with other elements, for example, weather conditions, traffic control systems, road conditions, obstructions that enter the roadway (people, rocks, animals, debris falling onto roadway from other vehicles), etc. The system provides guidance, communication, and control for the vehicles on the roadway, by using a solar-powered system comprising post assemblies having solar panel(s), sensors, forward and/or downward lighting, and other indicators/alarms to signal to the vehicle or driver regarding road, bridge, weather, accident, speeding, or other conditions of concern in the vicinity for safety and/or operability of the vehicle/driver(s).

Abstract: An array of outdoor lighting operates mainly in independent mode wherein sensing, communication, and control processes take place between the various lights of the array. Additional communication and control may occur between the array and a control station by means of a master/coordinating node that transmits and receives signals to the control station via call phone and/or satellite. The system may be tied to the internet for dissemination of data and/or data analysis gathered by means of the multiple poles/devices of the array. The independent-array and/or the master-to-station network and communications may be adapted for energy-saving processes; power-receiving from or power-providing to the grid, renewable power production and storage by means of solar panels and/or wind turbines and associated batteries or other storage equipment; and/or to Wi-Fi hot-spots, public safety alarms, information, or advertising to the public or information/data-analysis to customers.
