Abstract: An antenna includes a cross-polarized feed signal network configured to convert first and second radio frequency (RF) input feed signals into first and second pairs of cross-polarized feed signals at respective first and second pairs of feed signal output ports. A patch carrier is provided on the cross-polarized feed signal network. The patch carrier includes a substrate having a plurality of cavities therein, and first and second pairs of feed signal lines, which are electrically coupled to the first and second pairs of feed signal output ports and extend on sidewalls of the plurality of cavities. A patch radiating element is provided on the patch carrier. The patch radiating element is capacitively coupled to the first and second pairs of feed signal lines.

Abstract: Mounting system for solar modules (6) having a frame (2) on which one or more plate-shaped solar modules (6) are held, wherein the frame (2) is supported on a substructure (7, 9, 11) that is fixed to a subsurface, characterized in that an anchor (13, 35) is provided that can be affixed to a building structure (17) and supports the frame (2) in an upper region, the frame (2) being slidably positioned relative to the anchor (13, 35).

Abstract: A mounting system (1) for solar modules (6) having base part (11) on which a frame (2) is supported to which one or more plate-shaped solar modules (6) are held, and having an anchor (13, 35) capable of being attached to a wall of a building structure and which supports the frame (2) in an upper region, wherein the base part (11) is pivotable about a horizontal axis (10). Further, the invention relates to a method for installing a solar system.

Abstract: An absorber includes an absorber plate having an at least partly or entirely flat surface. At least one preferably metallic pipe, which likewise has a partly flat surface that rests against the flat surface of the absorber plate, and through which a heat transfer medium for carrying heat can flow, is disposed on the absorber plate with the aid of at least one heat-conducting plate. A method for manufacturing the absorber is characterized in that the at least one pipe and the heat-conducting plate(s) are placed on top of each other or combined. On this arrangement consisting of the at least one pipe and the at least one heat-conducting plate, the partly flat surface of the metallic pipe is then molded in a non-cutting forming work process.
