  • Publication number: 20230266042
    Abstract: An absorber system solves problems of known absorber systems for use in solar fields in that the absorber tube is suspended on a rail below an absorber cover. The design also makes it possible to move measuring and cleaning robots and the like along the absorber tube more and allows the absorber tube and the secondary reflector to be jointly suspended, whereby an exact mutual alignment between the two components is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20230078006
    Abstract: A travel path is arranged on the end faces of the solar panels and on which a service robot can travel, can rotate in place by a suitable rotational device, and can continue on a line. In this manner, the service robot can travel completely autonomously. For each row of adjacent solar panels, a centering opening is paired with the travel path, wherein the service robot has a centering pin which can engage into the centering opening, or the travel path is made of multiple sub-surfaces which form a respective rotary table in the region of the end faces of the solar panels, and the rotary table can be rotated about a perpendicular rotational axis running through the rotary table.

  • Patent number: 10866011
    Abstract: A support for rotationally movable mounting of solar modules configures an outer shaft as a tube and mounts an inner shaft in it, by way of a calotte element in the end position, so that this element is accommodated in the outer shaft in longitudinally displaceable and tiltable manner, as well as in freely rotational manner, if necessary. In this way, only one roller block is required, even if two uncoupled connection shafts are to be mounted.

  • Publication number: 20200115124
    Abstract: To provide an efficient transportation possibility for mirror units which is reliable and cost-effective in equal measure, end panels are first attached to the end faces of the mirror units such that several of the end panels complement one another so as to form a transport device with which the mirror units can be assembled in order to form a transport unit. The end panels form a support frame, which can be anchored in base rails, in a manner similar to a jigsaw puzzle, the support frame allowing a secure and simple transport of multiple mirror units on a narrow space.
