Patent number: 11929705Abstract: Systems and methods for providing and controlling solar panel arrays are provided. The solar panel array may include one or more articulating joints that may provide variability in the arrangement of solar panels, which may allow the solar panel array to be distributed over varying types of underlying surfaces. The articulating joints may allow orientations of solar panels to be different relative to one another. The articulating joints may convey rotational force across the joints, so that a rotational force used to drive a first solar panel may also be conveyed across the joint and used to drive a second solar panel. The controls system may include row-specific semi-autonomous, or autonomous, controllers as well as controllers to interface with multiple rows. The controllers may include sensors to measure system power generation and basic operations aspects of the solar field to directly measure, or infer, module shading within the solar field.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Nevados Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Yezin Taha, Norman Xiao

Publication number: 20230402960Abstract: Included are methods and devices of adapting a solar module support with pre-formed features that position and/or secure solar module clips. The adaptation may include forming new positioning and/securing features at new locations on the solar module support, or otherwise positioning the solar module clips on the solar module support at locations different from these pre-formed features. These methods and devices allow a solar module support with pre-formed features to accommodate solar modules of different dimensions than originally envisioned.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: NEVADOS ENGINEERING, INC.Inventors: Yezin TAHA, Amitoj GILL, Laura SVERCHEK

Publication number: 20230396210Abstract: A pony module having a solar panel may power a controller and/or drive device in a solar tracker. The pony module may be mounted directly on the drive device or a cradle supporting a solar panel support (e.g., a torque tube) attached to the drive device. The controller may be mounted on the solar panel of the pony module or may be mounted on the torque tube itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: NEVADOS ENGINEERING, INC.Inventors: Yezin TAHA, Amitoj GILL, Laura SVERCHEK, Anthony HELM

Publication number: 20230327603Abstract: Solar module clips that may be advantageously employed in solar trackers to decrease time and effort in the installation and the alignment of solar modules as well as address mechanical challenges posed by extreme weather events and other forces encountered in the course of use. Alignment may be simplified by tabs on the module clips that secure the solar panels as well as provide a visual marker. Module clips may also include other features, such as any of standoffs, module stops, or pillars for ease of installation and further constraining movement of solar panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: NEVADOS ENGINEERING, INC.Inventors: Yezin TAHA, Amitoj GILL, Laura SVERCHEK
