  • Patent number: 8215298
    Abstract: A solar module system includes a self-supporting structure and at least one solar module element or reflector element which can be arranged on the support structure. The support structure includes a plurality of juxtaposed support profiles in the form of self-supporting hollow chamber profiles, which have front parabolic concentrator reflector functional surfaces and solar module functional surfaces on the side facing away from the front. The system is used e.g. for photovoltaic systems outdoors or on buildings.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090095284
    Abstract: A solar module system having a self-supporting structure and at least one solar module element or reflector element which can be arranged on the support structure is provided. A support structure includes at least one self-supporting rib longitudinal profile and/or hollow longitudinal profile as a support profile with a solar module functional area and/or a reflector functional area. The support profile has a plug-in profile on the longitudinal side for attachment of a further support profile, a connecting profile or of a terminating profile at the side, and/or having a heat dissipation structure which is thermally conductively connected to its solar module functional area and/or its reflector functional area.
