  • Perimeter block device and methods
    Patent number: 12562671
    Abstract: Perimeter blocks for a PV array comprising fastener or component holes for anchoring the array bonding the array and protecting array cabling. Perimeter blocks provide a favorable aerodynamic shape to help deflect incoming wind, to channel rainwater over the array, and to protect the edge of the array. PV arrays having PV modules and perimeter blocks contacting native topography or a smoothed or substantially flat portion of the ground in an array and holding the array together and down are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2024
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2026
    Inventors: James Scott Tyler, Benjamin Keith Symmers, Andy Nyce, Chad Medcroft
