  • Publication number: 20240079992
    Abstract: A system of photovoltaic solar panels comprises a plurality of photovoltaic solar panels and a supporting structure provided for supporting the photovoltaic solar panels in a number of rows parallel to one another on the supporting structure. The supporting structure includes a series of cross members arranged parallel to and at a distance apart from one another, configured for blocking a respective side of a photovoltaic solar panel. In one example, each cross member comprises a single piece of sheet metal bent so as to perform the functions of centring, referencing, and blocking said photovoltaic solar panels, without the aid of further fixing or referencing elements.

  • Publication number: 20240001836
    Abstract: A method for outdoor installation of an array of solar converters, for example photovoltaic solar panels or solar mirrors, and a carriage for transport and the outdoor installation of the array of solar converters. The array of solar converters is assembled including a supporting frame having a longitudinal beam and cross members which together engage and support the solar converters. The carriage includes a lifting device and an auxiliary support structure including clamping devices which receive the longitudinal beam of the assembled array. The carriage engages the assembled array and transports it to an installation field. The lifting device raises and deposits the assembled array on predetermined support posts. The lifting device is lowered to disengage the carriage from the installed array and the carriage returns to engage another assembled array for transport and installation.

  • Patent number: 11245353
    Abstract: A system for positioning a row of photovoltaic solar panels (1) on a support structure (S) arranged in an outdoor space includes a vehicle (20) on which the photovoltaic solar panels (1) to be installed are arranged, and a manipulator robot (24) arranged on-board the vehicle (20) for sequentially picking-up one or more photovoltaic panels (1) from the vehicle, and for positioning them on said support structure (S) as the vehicle moves on one side along the support structure (S). An optoelectronic system (27) is used for automatic optical recognition of the correct position in which a photovoltaic solar panel (1) must be picked-up as well as the correct installing position of the photovoltaic solar panel (1) on the support structure (S).
