  • Patent number: 11938576
    Abstract: A system and method for threading a torque tube through an opening within a U-bolt and module rail device is described. The system and method provide aligned horizontal movement of the torque tube across an assembly frame resulting in the torque tube being threaded through a plurality of U-bolt and module rail devices. After the threading process is complete, the threaded U-bolt and module rail devices are secured in place on the torque tube to allow coupling of solar panels to the module rails.

  • Publication number: 20240078501
    Abstract: A solar module crate transport is described that securely moves a solar module crate within a large-scale solar system. The solar module crate transport comprises an angled base, at least three vertical support structures, at least one vehicle receptacle and at least one monitoring device. The at least one monitoring device may provide a variety of monitoring functionality that allows remote monitoring of an installation location within the large-scale solar system. This monitoring allows visibility into resources, including solar modules, and personnel at an installation location within the large-scale solar system.

  • Publication number: 20240053061
    Abstract: A clamp is described that couples a torque tube and at least one solar panel within a solar table. The clamp provides an efficient attachment when in a closed position that allows transportation of the solar table from a centralized assembly location to an installation point within a large-scale solar system. The clamp further provides an efficient process solar table mobile transport is described that moves a solar table to a point of installation. The clamp may be efficiently opened by personnel at the installation point to enable access to a section of the torque tube.

  • Publication number: 20230238912
    Abstract: A solar table assembly unit is described that facilitates assembly of a plurality of solar tables in a location remote from a plurality of installation points within a solar system. The assembly unit comprises at least one vertical support structures that is coupled to a central support structure, an upper rail and a lower rail. The central support structure supports a torque tube having a plurality of coupling points. The upper and lower rails allow movement of solar components, such as solar panels, relative to the coupling points. Assembled solar tables may be moved to a mobile transport for subsequent delivery to installation points within the solar system.

  • Publication number: 20230029665
    Abstract: A system for centralized assembly and installation of large-scale solar systems is described. Embodiments of the invention transition the prior art approach of solar table assembly and installation at single location sites to a centralized and coordinated assembly factory that allows a more cost-effective and dynamic process of constructing large-scale solar systems. Additionally, embodiments of the invention provide an improved process of resource and personnel management during the construction process that improves cost and efficiency as conditions change at the construction site.
