  • Publication number: 20100175733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a structure containing components for collecting, transferring and storing heat energy originating from solar energy, wherein said components are pre-coupled and mounted in the factory so as to form a compact machine that is ready to be installed and connected directly to the power grid at the installation location. The aforementioned components include solar collectors which transform solar energy into heated water and accumulators which form water containers for storing the energy collected by the solar panels and transmitting same to the next accumulator through a series of successive fluid circulation circuits which are actuated by respective electric pumps and provided with expansion reservoirs and vessels and valves for the operation thereof, which is controlled by a central solar heat source control system which is connected to a number of the above-mentioned electric pumps and to a solar sensor.

  • Publication number: 20090084429
    Abstract: Stand-alone, interactive modular solar-energy-production system. This system consists of an oblong frame that supports the photovoltaic field that receives the solar energy, an azimuth/zenith tracker, an actuating means generator and computerized control means. The base of the frame is supported in a rotary fashion on a shaft fixed securely in the ground and is supported by rolling means that can move in a rotary fashion over the ground with respect to said fixed shaft. During rotation, the rolling means adapt to the ground via tilting means associated with the fixed shaft that enable the frame to maintain balance. The base is coupled to said fixed shaft in an off-centre position and the rolling means, also, are off-centre with respect to said fixed shaft, which enables the frame to be oriented with respect to the wind in the manner of a wind vane.
