Patent number: 11916205Abstract: An energy storage canopy associated with a local building is provided. The energy storage canopy includes support members that can support compartments, which may be integral with or removable from the energy storage canopy. Each compartment includes a plurality of high capacity batteries to store electrical energy, at least one power conditioner to allow coupling high capacity batteries to an external unit. The external unit may be a power grid, a building, other loads, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: LT 350, LLCInventor: Jeffrey Thramann

Patent number: 11476796Abstract: The present application provides methods for loading and unloading high capacity storage equipment to a solar power canopy. The methods and structures may include horizontal support members have mechanisms to engage corresponding mechanisms on a compartment housing the high capacity storage equipment. The mechanisms may include plates, flanged surfaces, rails, tracks, hook assemblies, and ridges. The methods and structures may include a superstructure that is coupled to an moves with respect to the solar power canopy frame. The superstructure may pivot and/or rotate to allow loading and unloading. The methods and structures also may include cabinets or cubicles sized to receive one or more compartments housing the high capacity storage equipment.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: LT 350, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Thramann, Terence Davidovits, Steve Cook, John Slattebo, Walter Fallows, III

Patent number: 11245138Abstract: An energy storage canopy associated with a local building is provided. The energy storage canopy includes support members that can support compartments, which may be integral with or removable from the energy storage canopy. Each compartment includes a plurality of high capacity batteries to store electrical energy, at least one power conditioner to allow coupling high capacity batteries to the power grid and/or the AC distribution panel of the local building, and a refrigerant energy storage tank containing a working fluid. The refrigerant energy storage tank contains piping or ductwork to be in fluid communication with the HVAC system, refrigerant system, or atmosphere of the local building to provide stored refrigerant energy to the local building.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: LT350, LLCInventor: Jeffrey Thramann

Patent number: 9647300Abstract: The technology of the present application provides a solar canopy having a cavity. The cavity defines at least one space that is sized and shaped to receive a high capacity battery, of which electric vehicle batteries are one example. The cavity includes an opening to allow access to the space. Contacts are arranged in the cavity to align with contacts of a battery inserted into the space to electrically couple the battery to the power electronics or power conditioner, which includes a power conversion system, and inverter, and a converter or transformer. The cavity also includes a heat dissipation system.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: LT350, LLCInventors: Jeff Thramann, Terence Davidovits, Erik Green
